In a recent report, the Belk Center for Community College Leadership and Research examines educational trends for associate of applied science (AAS) degrees, particularly those in business, information technology, and criminal justice. An increasing number of students with these credentials are transferring to four-year institutions instead of immediately entering the workforce post-graduation.
However, many AAS degree holders face challenges during the transfer process, including lower completion rates and lost program credits. Addressing these barriers is a pressing issue, with recent workforce data indicating an increasing demand for graduates with bachelor's degrees in business, information technology, and criminal justice.
To learn more about AAS trends, transfer challenges, and targeted recommendations, read the full Belk Center report.
