AA-IP: What is it?
The AA-IP allows students to design an individualized academic program. To earn an AA-IP degree, students must complete a total of 90 credits: 15 credits of General Education Core requirements listed below plus 75 additional transferable credits and a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher. This degree is a transfer Associates degree, but NOT part of the Direct Transfer Agreement (DTA) with Washington state colleges and universities.
Is the AA-IP right for me?
For many students, the Associate in Arts (AA-DTA) or the Associate of Science (AS-T) degrees are recommended because they are a part of the Washington State Transfer Agreements. The AA-Individual Plan is a good fit for students who are …
- planning to transfer to a specific university and want to follow the general education requirements of that school
- planning to transfer into a specific major with many prerequisites that are required for admission
- entering Shoreline with a lot of college credits and want to graduate in a timely manner
- planning to transfer to an out-of-state college or university with no direct transfer agreement
When planning your academic program, please keep in mind:
- Students must meet the admission requirements of the colleges/universities for which they are applying.
- This AA Individual Plan (AA-IP) degree does not guarantee admission into any university, program, or major.
- Students are responsible for completing all General Education and other program requirements of the baccalaureate institution to graduate
