Collin County Community College District Transfer Programs : WECM

There are some baccalaureate degree programs in Texas into which the AAS degree, certificate and/or workforce courses transfer. The most common are the Bachelor of Applied Science (BAAS), Bachelor of Applied Technology (BAT) and the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN).
In addition, through the Texas Two-Step Projects at the University of Texas at Arlington, University of Texas Brownsville and Texas A&M Commerce, workforce/technical students can transfer select workforce/technical credit hours into a BA or BS degree. Students wishing to transfer workforce courses to BA/BS degrees at other universities, should consult with their faculty adivsor. Some universities may accept the credits if the following information is included along with a letter from the student petitioning to have the courses transfered and applied to a degree:
