Welcome to TC3!

TC3 offers associate degrees and certificates in 39 program areas. Some of these programs are occupationally-oriented, designed to provide the skills you need to enter the job market immediately upon graduation. Other programs are designed to provide the first two years of study toward a bachelor’s degree at a four-year college or university.

• The Associate in Arts Degree (A.A.) is used primarily for transfer programs that lead to the bachelor of arts degree at a four-year college or university. It may be used for general liberal arts programs.
• The Associate in Science Degree (A.S.) may be used for certain occupationally-oriented studies, but is primarily designed to serve science or professionally-related programs that lead to transfer to a bachelor of science degree at a four-year college or university.
• The Associate in Applied Science Degree (A.A.S.) is structured as an occupationally-oriented degree. However, it may be appropriate as a transfer degree to certain types of specialized baccalaureate programs such the bachelor of technology.
• The Certificate provides a condensed program in a particular field of study and does not require general education courses. Certificate programs generally require only two or three semesters of full-time study. Credits earned may be applied toward a degree if you decide to continue your education.
