With an Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer (AAOT) degree you can complete your first two years of college and meet the lower-division general-education requirements for Oregon's public universities. Completing the AAOT degree simplifies the transfer process for community college students. The classes you take for the degree fulfill the general requirements, but not necessarily specific department or major requirements with regard to courses.
You can get your AAOT degree entirely through distance learning at Chemeketa Community College in Salem, Lane Community College in Eugene, or Portland Community College in Portland.
