The College Transfer program offers courses in a wide range of academic fields common to undergraduate study in colleges and universities. These courses meet requirements for associates’ degrees and will transfer to four-year institutions within guidelines established by those schools. The courses and programs offered are designed to enable the student to make a successful transition to a baccalaureate institution.
Students who plan to transfer to a specific college or university should work with a transfer advisor, and also request information from the four-year institution(s) they want to attend. These procedures are even more important for students who wish to transfer but don’t intend to earn the A.A. degree. Most four-year schools have special requirements for transfer of courses without the A.A. degree.
(Note: The A.A. Degree Requirements are listed in detail below on this page.)
Students planning to transfer to a four-year institution and pursue a specific field of study should work closely with their advisor to plan their Associate of Arts (A.A.) degree. In addition to the Associate of Arts degree, special courses of study have been designed for the following areas of emphasis at the Seattle Colleges:
The Associate of Arts in Business Degree is designed to satisfy lower division general education and business requirements at Washington’s public four-year colleges and universities.
The Associate of Science (A.S.) is also intended to be a transfer degree. However, there are certain major areas of study in which the student may not be able to take all the courses necessary to transfer with junior standing. Please contact an advisor for more information on this degree program. For specific courses leading to a pre-major in a number of science fields, refer to the College Transfer section for each college.
Degree requirements include satisfactory completion of at least 90 approved credits with a 2.0 cumulative GPA. At least 15 credits in college-level courses (100 or above) must be earned at the Seattle College granting the degree.

Transfer services and information are available at all three Seattle Colleges through the campus Advising/Transfer Centers. During their first few quarters of study at Seattle Colleges, students are encouraged to explore the various options for majors at the four-year institutions and to become knowledgeable about admissions and graduation requirements for any majors they are considering. Representatives from local four-year institutions meet with Seattle Colleges students on an individual basis at all three campuses to provide information regarding admissions deadlines and transfer requirements. Group information sessions are also scheduled on each campus, providing students an opportunity to meet with faculty and college admissions representatives from different majors. Ultimately, it is the student’s responsibility to become knowledgeable about the admissions and graduation requirements of the four-year institution that he or she plans to attend. MORE >
