Associate of Arts and Associate of Science Degrees

Students planning to earn a baccalaureate degree at a four-year college or university can complete their first two years at Nashville State Community College and receive an Associate of Science (A.S.) or Associate of Arts (A.A.) degree. The primary goal of these degrees is to prepare students to successfully pursue the baccalaureate degree.

Nashville State Community College develops transfer agreements with area universities, and copies of these agreements are available in the Student Services Building. Tennessee State University has a full-time advisor available in Student Services to help transfer students. An Austin Peay advisor makes regular visits to the Nashville State campus.
