Where does my path start?
There are two paths to transfer for this major depending on your personal preferences: A) Associate in Applied Arts & Sciences (AAAS) in Health Informatics and Information Management at Shoreline. This allows you to work in the field. You can continue a Bachelor degree program while working. B) Study a general degree first, the Associate of Arts - Direct Transfer Agreement (AA-DTA), followed by a Health Informatics major at a university. For option B use the AA-DTA Degree Planning Guide with the information below, or for option A go to the Health Information Technology, AAAS Planning Guide to understand the requirements for graduation. Once you complete your Shoreline degree, you can transfer to a four-year school to earn a Bachelor’s degree.
