Cybersecurity Transfer to Oregon Tech

Associate of Science Degree

About the Program

The Associate of Science (AS) degree is based on a signed articulation agreement with Oregon Tech. The program is designed for students transferring to its baccalaureate degree program in Cybersecurity. Students must work closely with advisors in their areas of interest to ensure electives are appropriate. The curriculum allows for 53 core credits within the major area. By completing all appropriate credits (including electives), students will fulfill required lower division coursework for transfer to Oregon Tech.

Students should be aware, however, that if they transfer before completing this degree, their courses will be evaluated individually toward the transfer requirements of the college of their choice.

Entry Requirements

Students are required to complete the Placement Process to determine skill level and readiness in math, reading, and writing. As part of their training program, students must begin with the courses within their skill level as determined through the Placement Process. In addition, students may also be required to enroll in classes that would increase their employability and success.

Advanced Standing

Coursework from accredited universities will be accepted in accordance with college policies. In order to ensure that coursework is current, program courses over five years old must be reviewed and approved by the appropriate department chair before being accepted toward core requirements.
