The Associate of Arts degree (A.A.) at JCCC is a general transfer degree and partners well with the first two years of most
bachelor degree programs. Students pursuing the A.A. may select courses that satisfy both the A.A. degree requirements
and lower division requirements for a bachelor’s degree at four-year institutions. The elective hours within the A.A. allow
students to complete additional general education and lower division courses required for specific majors. The A.A.
degree requires completion of 60 credit hours. Meeting with a JCCC counselor is strongly recommended for selection of
appropriate courses.
The Allied Health Department at Washburn University offers an online Bachelor of Health Science (BHS) degree. This
program is designed to provide graduates with knowledge and skills in the area of management and leadership.
Students without healthcare backgrounds may expand opportunities in healthcare or prepare for a graduate program
through the completion of a Washburn BHS degree.
