To meet the Equity, Diversity, and Power completion requirement, you must complete one 150-series EDP course and at least one additional EDP-designated course for a total of ten (10) credits. EDP courses in the 150-series ground students in the needed cognitive tools and background to critically analyze their position in our increasingly interconnected, complex, and diverse world so they can pursue further study and seek out their careers more intentionally. EDP designated courses may also apply toward Humanities, Social Science, Natural Science, or General Elective distribution requirements as indicated. See the Cascadia catalog for the complete list of EDP designated courses.
Choose one:
- CMST 150 Multicultural Communication
- GS 150 Globalization, Culture and Identity
- HIST 150 Cultural Diversity and Challenges in United States History
- HUMAN 150 Introduction to Cultural Studies
- SOC 150 Social Inequality
Choose one additional course designated in EDP in any distribution area by choosing from the choice classes below or checking the current class schedule for additional EDP designated courses.
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.

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