General Education Requirements for AAS Degree
These are the standard requirements for the Associate of Applied Science.
General Education Suggestions for Carpenters, CWU Transfer Option
Carpenters apprentices can take advantage of RTC’s special agreement with Central Washington University (CWU) and their Bachelor of Applied Science in Information Technology and Administrative Management (BAS-ITAM), with a Project Management specialization.
- Related instruction CARP classes can earn up to 45 lower-division credits.
- Apprentice work hours earn 14 credits of upper-division internship and elective credits.
- General Education classes add 15 to 20 lower-division credits, depending on the level of mathematics completed.
The following classes are recommended for the AAS degree for the best transfer experience (at least 74 total credits towards the 180 required for the BAS degree). CWU requires a cumulative GPA of 2.3 or higher for these four classes to qualify for their agreement.
Interested carpenters apprentices can learn more about the CWU ITAM partnership by speaking with an academic counselor or adviser.
