  Associate of Arts Degree Curriculum

The Associate of Arts (AA) is essentially the first two years towards a Bachelor of Arts degree. The AA degree is a two year liberal arts/general education degree with an emphasis in English, Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities, Mathematics, and Natural Sciences. Graduates of this program will have the general education necessary to pursue a Bachelor’s degree at most four-year colleges and universities as Juniors.

  Associate of Science Degree Curriculum

The Associate of Science (AS) is essentially the first two years towards a Bachelor of Science degree. The AS degree is a two year liberal arts/general education degree with an emphasis in English, Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities, Mathematics, and Natural Sciences. Graduates of this program will have the general education necessary to pursue a Bachelor’s degree at most four-year colleges and universities as Juniors.

The purpose of these baccalaureate-oriented associate degrees is to enable students (1) to transfer to colleges and universities and earn baccalaureate degrees, or (2) to enable students to terminate academic study after two years with a proportionate recognition of academic achievement through receipt of an associate degree. This degree will provide students with the opportunity to affordably complete their first two years of the baccalaureate degree and transfer credit to public four- year colleges and universities.

College Transfer Agreements

MTC works closely with Ohio colleges to maintain transfer agreements to ensure transfer of credits and advanced standings for MTC graduates pursuing four-year educations.

Some colleges do not establish written agreements, yet offer excellent transfer opportunities for two-year college graduates. See the College's Transfer Brochure for more information.
