AS
Associate of Science

This degree is for you if you want to complete your general education and pre-major courses before transferring to a bachelor’s degree program at a Utah public four-year college or university. This is a great track for students who want to explore different academic options.

AA
Associate of Arts

This degree choice is much like the AS degree with the addition of a foreign language requirement.

APE
Associate of Pre-Engineering

This is a specialized program to prepare you for transferring seamlessly into an engineering major at a Utah public four-year college or university. You will be required to complete a significant amount of engineering coursework, while taking fewer general education courses.

AAS
Associate of Applied Science

If you’re interested in a fast track toward an entry-level career, then this choice is right for you. AAS degrees require more program-specific courses with limited general education requirements.

CC
Certificate of Completion

This path will help you focus on a specialized field of study that quickly matches students to good-paying jobs that are in high demand in Utah.

CP
Certificate of Proficiency

If you are already working in the field of your choice and you want an education to refine or improve your skills for a raise or promotion, you should investigate your options with this track.

CA
Certificate of Achievement

If you want to jump-start your career and get prepared for an entry-level job, this alternative may be right for you.

Stackable Credentials

Sometimes, two or more certificates can be "stacked" to fulfill the requirements of an AA, AS or AAS degree. Other times, certificates are meant to be stacked onto degrees to give you specific and marketable skill sets.

3 Steps to success at SLCC
1. Choose your Area of Study
2. Learn about majors in your Area of Study

3. Choose a major in your Area of Study

With your advisor, you'll think back on your first few semesters and decide on a major. Once you choose your major, you'll have a clear-cut path to reach your goal — whether that's transferring to a four-year school or joining the workforce.
