Candidates with A.A.or A.S. degrees from regionally accredited community or junior colleges will receive a minimum of 61 semester-hour credits for the curriculum completed. This program presupposes that a candidate has received the A.A.or A.S. degree with a cumulative average of 2.0 or better. Such students will, therefore, receive full junior standing. Students who have not received A.A. or A.S. degrees will be considered on an individual basis. It should be noted that because of program requirements and course cycling, the College can not guarantee that those who enter with junior standing will complete degree requirements in two years.
