University Parallel Program

University Parallel Program

The Associate in Arts and Associate in Science degree programs are for students intending to pursue a bachelor’s or higher degree from a senior college or university. Also known as the “university parallel program” or “university transfer degree,” the Associate in Arts and Associate in Science curricula are comparable to the freshman and sophomore years at a university. A majority of courses in the programs are General Education, such as English, Mathematics, Humanities, Science, Social and Behavioral Sciences, and Fine Arts. Other courses are selected based upon the institution and student’s intended major and are meant to satisfy prerequisite requirements for that major. 

Students may take advantage of transfer opportunities with HGTC and other colleges and universities. For a complete list of transfer agreements, visit www.hgtc.edu/transfer.
