Degree and Credit Transfer from Jefferson
A top priority for the Transfer Center is to help you choose the classes that will complete your Jefferson degree and count toward your bachelor's degree or other long-term educational goal.
degree Transfer
Associate of Science (AS) or Associate of Arts (AA)
Students who complete these degrees have the potential to be fully general education certified and to transfer their general education requirements as a block.
The Kentucky General Education Transfer Policy guarantees that if students complete their Associate of Science or Associate of Arts at Jefferson, any Kentucky public university will accept their general education credits as meeting lower-division general education requirements for your bachelor's degree.
Elective classes within these degrees can be used to take prerequisite classes or to meet bachelor's level major-specific requirements.
Associate of Applied Science (AAS)
Students who complete this degree have completed some general education requirements for a bachelor's degree.
The Kentucky Applied Associate Transfer Agreement guarantees that the general education courses students take as part of an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) will count toward the lower-division general education requirements for their bachelor's degree.
Technical classes within these degrees may transfer to meet bachelor's level major-specific requirements, depending on the transfer school's policies.
credit transfer
Students can see whether a specific class transfers to a four-year school by searching for the school's "transfer equivalency database." A school's transfer equivalency database will show how KCTCS classes would be counted for credit at that four-year school. College classes may have different names at different schools but are considered “equivalent” if both cover the same content.
If the college does not have a transfer equivalency database available or if you do not see the class you are looking for, you can contact its transfer and/or admission office for information.
