College of Agriculture and Applied Sciences

Department of Aviation and Technical Education

The Associate Degrees are designed to meet the qualifications of the first two years of a Baccalaureate Degree. A student who transfers from USU-Eastern to a public four year institution of higher education in the State of Utah will be automatically cleared of all general education requirements if he or she has received an Associate Degree (students receiving the Associate of Pre-Engineering may have to take additional general education credits). Most accredited four year institutions of higher education in the United States will accept the Associate degree. Students are advised to examine the catalog of the institution to which they plan to transfer.


Credit for courses numbered 1000 or above earned at USU-Eastern are transferable within the Utah State System of Higher Education and will be carried on the student’s transcript by the receiving institution. Acceptance of credit should not be confused with its application toward a specific set of requirements or major. Credit other than that intended wholly to meet the General Education requirements of the receiving institution will be applied on the basis of the appropriateness of credit to a particular institution’s specific degree program requirements, as determined by the receiving institution.

Students whose native language is not English may use English to meet the Associate of Arts language requirement by completing all of the requirements for an Associate of Science and one of the following:

  • Provide proof of a 500 or higher score on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL)
  • Successfully complete a minimum of 10 semester hours of ESOL 1000 or above numbered coursework
