AU-ABC Programs

Continue your education with the AU-ABC program—seamlessly transfer your CCAF credits toward an online bachelor's degree.

If you are eligible, you will not have to take more than 60 additional credits to complete one of the UAGC bachelor’s degree programs listed below. Any coursework completed at UAGC (including non-degree seeking) prior to the Associate in Applied Science degree being awarded, will count towards the 60 credit minimum requirement needed for the student’s official evaluation. Each link provides a sample of how your credits may transfer to UAGC under this agreement. The actual general education requirements completed as listed on the sample plans will vary based on your own official transcript evaluation, and the sample plans do not guarantee certain general education requirements will be fulfilled.
