Applied Science Degrees
Not earning an AA or AS? Here's how to know if courses transfer:
If you are working towards completing an Associate
of Applied Science Degree, there will be additional
general education courses that you will be required
to take upon transferring to Western Illinois
University
Western Illinois University is a participant in the Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI), a statewide agreement that allows
transfer of the completed Illinois General Education Core Curriculum between participating institutions. Completion of
the transferable General Education Core Curriculum at any participating college or university in Illinois assures
transferring students that lower-division general education requirements for a bachelor's degree has been satisfied.
ALWAYS consult your academic advisor for Associate degree requirements.
