Transfer Opportunities: 

Associate in Business - Major Related Programs (MRP)/Direct Transfer Agreement (DTA)

At Cascadia, we offer an Associate in Business – Direct Transfer Agreement (DTA)/Major Related Programs (MRP) that prepares you to transfer to a 4-year university.

Most Major Related Programs (MRP) help you prepare to transfer into high demand bachelor’s degree programs that require specific courses in the first two years. Business, biology, engineering, and nursing are a few examples. Each MRP is based on of the statewide transfer agreements: Direct Transfer Agreement (DTA) or the Associate in Science-Transfer (AS-T) and can reduce the time it takes to complete a specific bachelor’s degree pathway.

What is an AAS-T Degree?

An Associates of Applied Science-Transfer (AAS-T) degree builds on the technical courses required for job preparation by including a college-level general education component.

The distinguishing characteristic of the AAS-T degree is a minimum 20 credits of general education drawn from the same list as those taken by students completing direct transfer associate’s degrees.

Important Considerations Regarding AAS-T Degrees
  • AAS-T degrees are designed for immediate employment and as preparation for applied bachelor of science degrees
  • AAS-T degrees are transferrable only when a receiving college or university has a special agreement in place with the specific college
  • AAS-T degrees are not accepted in transfer in preparation for bachelor of arts or bachelor of science programs.

View Cascadia’s Transfer Agreements for details of our partnerships with other colleges and universities.

University admissions requirements may vary – consult with the program advisor for transfer assistance to plan your career and future educational goals.
