Tohono O’odham Community College currently offers five certificates
and degrees that transfer to four-year colleges and universities.
The Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC) is a block of 35 or
more credits that, when completed, can be transferred to another
Arizona public community college or university without losing any
credits. Arizona community college students with AGEC-A, AGEC-B, or
AGEC-S certificates are guaranteed admission to Arizona public
universities. Only TOCC transfer degrees, which include an AGEC
block, can transfer to a four-year college.
TOCC’s General Studies degree is an Associate of Applied Science
degree (the AAS-AGS), which is not designed to transfer. An AAS-AGS
may transfer is if the student also completes an AGEC-A, AGEC-B, or
AGEC-S certificate. To maximize academic options, TOCC recommends
that all students seek to complete an AGEC-A certificate alongside
any direct employment degree or certificate.
In specific workforce programs, such as early childhood education or
construction, Arizona universities have developed a procedure for
accepting AAS degrees for credit upon entrance into a B.A.S. or
Bachelor’s of Applied Science program. This option is not available
to AAS-AGS students. A student should contact advisors at four-year
colleges when attempting to transfer without an AGEC certificate.
Specific courses may transfer, while others will not.
TOCC currently offers AGEC-A, AGEC-B, and AGEC-S, corresponding to
Liberal Arts, Business, and Science. The Associate degrees in these
fields are composed of the transfer certificate and additional
transfer-level coursework. For more information on the Arizona
