Catalog Description
The Associate in Arts Direct Transfer Agreement (DTA) is a statewide transfer degree recognized by all Washington State public baccalaureate institutions and many private colleges. It provides students with a broad foundation in the liberal arts and is designed to support a seamless transition into bachelor’s degree programs.
Graduates are prepared to transfer with junior standing into a bachelor’s degree program at most Washington State public baccalaureate institutions. Students planning to transfer to institutions outside Washington should consult with their intended transfer school to ensure course compatibility and transferability.
Students are strongly encouraged to work closely with an academic advisor to develop an education plan that meets both degree requirements and the specific admission criteria of their intended transfer institution. Some universities or education programs may require additional prerequisites, a minimum GPA, or a competitive application process.
