EmilyAnn Posted at 9:02 pm on Sep. 15, 2008 There's nothing wrong with that. It's a good plan, actually. I'll get my AA degree at the end of this school year, then transfer to get my Bachelor's, and probably a Master's after that. It's an excellent start. jiminic2 Posted at 7:59 pm on Sep. 1, 2008 If you know what university you want to go to make sure that every unit will transfer to that university, or you might have to go to summer school or inter session to make up units.  Or go the 5 year plan.

Heehee trust me I know, but I don't know what I want to do, and thats my problem.  I'm just trying to find the path that will allow me to play the least ammount of catch up as possible. wingedmisery Posted at 9:23 am on Aug. 25, 2008 I was an AA and I'll have a BA in December, it's a good route and you'll have two degrees :) jamescoleman Posted at 9:17 am on Aug. 25, 2008 It's a good start but it would be better if you had a route because you might end up playn catch up for a route when you pick one. Breaking 88 Posted at 9:13 am on Aug. 25, 2008 I'm not stopping at an AA though, I'll be going on to get a bachelors after this...and I'll be transferring to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) help me now Posted at 9:06 am on Aug. 25, 2008 yea its a good way. its what am doing. do u know what college u want to transfer to? Micus Posted at 9:05 am on Aug. 25, 2008 I feel like if you stop at an AA, people would look at that as a cop-out degree. Have you considered trying for a bachelors? Hi Carie Posted at 9:05 am on Aug. 25, 2008 be careful about where you transfer, some colleges dont encourage you to start with an AA and you may have to play catch up.
