Oregon Transfer Degrees
The Associate Degrees from Oregon that transfer directly to SPU to fulfill University Core and Exploratory Curriculum requirements are the Associate of Arts/Oregon Transfer (AA/OT) degree and the Associate of Science/Oregon Transfer Degree-Business (AS/OT-B).
If you have earned one of these degrees prior to matriculation at SPU, you will enter with all your University Core and Exploratory Curriculum requirements fulfilled, as well as proficiency requirements in English composition and foreign language. Generally, students will enter with 90 credits and junior standing, which exempts them from University Foundation 1000, one of the three UFDN courses required for all SPU students.
California IGETC Curriculum and Associate Degrees
If you earn an Associate degree from a California two-year school along with the IGETC (Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum) before you begin classes at 涩里番 Pacific, you will enter SPU with your University Core and Exploratory Curriculum requirements fulfilled, as well as proficiency requirements in foreign language and English composition. Generally, that means you will enter with 90 credits and junior standing, which exempts you from University Foundation 1000. All students entering with junior or senior standing must complete UFDN 3001 and UFDN 3100.
Other Associate Degrees
Associate of Science-Transfer Degrees Options 1 and 2
While the Associate of Science-Transfer degree Option 1 and Option 2 from Washington state community and technical colleges are also accepted in transfer to SPU, these degrees do not fulfill the same requirements as the DTA degree.
If you have earned, prior to matriculation at SPU, an Associate of Science-Transfer degree Option 1 or 2, you will generally enter with junior standing. At least 15 credits in transfer courses that meet humanities and social science GERs/GURs at the sending institution will be applied toward your Common and Exploratory Curriculum requirements in the social sciences and humanities areas, whether or not there is a direct match with SPU's general education courses.
Associate of Applied Sciences-Transfer and Other Professional/Technical Associate Degrees
If you have earned, prior to matriculation at SPU, an Associate of Applied Science-Transfer degree from a Washington state community or technical college, you are eligible to apply for admission to the Professional Studies program. Students who have earned a different professional or technical degree from a Washington state community or technical college are eligible to apply for the Professional Studies Program if they have earned a minimum GPA of 2.5 in at least 20 college level liberal arts credits from the academic areas of English Composition, Arts and Humanities, Social Sciences, Natural Sciences, and Mathematics.
Students in the Professional Studies program follow an alternative degree curriculum. General Education requirements may be satisfied through transfer classes reviewed on a course-by-course basis. Students admitted to this program complete an academic minor at SPU and earn a 鈥淧rofessional Studies鈥� major. Generally, these students enter SPU with 90 credits and junior standing, which exempts them from University Foundations 1000, one of the three UFDN courses required for all SPU students.
