Transfer degrees, better known as Associate of Arts (A.A.) or Associate of Science (A.S.) degrees, are specifically designed for a smooth transfer process from community colleges to four-year institutions. These degrees are tailored to meet the general education requirements of colleges and universities, ensuring that students who complete them can enter as juniors and continue their studies without any loss of credits.
A significant advantage of pursuing a transfer degree is the cost-effectiveness it offers. Penn Highlands is known for affordability compared to traditional four-year institutions, allowing students to save a significant amount of money on tuition and fees.
