The Associate of Arts Transfer in Communication offers a streamlined path for CGCC students to gain credits and transfer seamlessly to a participating Oregon university in pursuit of a Bachelor of Arts in Communication. This map is beneficial for students who know they want to transfer in the field of Communications, but who may be unsure of their intended transfer destination. Students should work with their advisor to choose the best path for their goals, and to ensure they fulfill the necessary requirements.
