Transfer Education
Some students come to Wright to earn a two-year associate’s degree in order to transfer to a four-year college or university. Wright’s transfer-oriented degrees include: an Associate in Arts (AA), an Associate in Science (AS), an Associate in Engineering Science (AES), an Associate in Fine Arts (AFA), and an Associates in General Studies (AGS). Since requirements vary from one university to another, student should consult with the university they wish to transfer to and/or a college advisor to see which degree program best meets their needs. Four year articulation information can also been obtained in the Transfer Center, Room A120, or through the Illinois Articulation Initiative by accessing the website http://www.iTransfer.org.

Career Occupational Education
Many students at Wright are working to gain the necessary skills and knowledge to prepare for a job in a career area. Some students take only a few courses to reinforce and improve skills they already possess. Others are re-educating themselves to keep up with the changes in the workplace. Career occupational programs prepare students for the world of work. Students can enroll in a two-year Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree program or enter a shorter sequence leading to a basic or advanced certificate.
