Theater Transfer Guide for Students Pursuing an Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer Degree

The Associate of Arts (Oregon Transfer) degree is designed to allow you to complete the first two years of your studies at LBCC and transfer to a four-year college as a junior. Many courses meet the requirements of this degree, but some choices are better for theater students than others. Select your electives carefully to ensure that you take the pre-requisites to upper-division courses. A sample AAOT two-year plan of study is outlined below. Check with your advisor each term to be sure you are on track for the degree, and to transfer seamlessly to the school of your choice.
