Graduation Requirements for Transfer Associate Degree Programs

Associate in Arts and Associate in Science: 14-20 Semester Hours

These Illinois Baccalaureate Majors' Recommendations (iTransfer Majors) describe courses typically taken by freshmen and sophomores for a specific major. These course recommendations are meant for students who are undecided about a transfer school. If you already know where you will transfer, see that school's catalog and an admissions counselor for specific advice.

The Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI) is continuing to develop transfer course recommendations for baccalaureate majors, in addition to those listed below. Information on more majors will be added to the iTransfer website as it becomes available. Always seek the advice of a counselor when making transfer plans.

More than One Associate Degree

Students may qualify for different degrees or certificates from South Suburban College. In order to be eligible for more than one Associate degree, 15 semester hours of credit in addition to the minimum of 62 hours required for the first degree must be earned at the college. Credits for the first degree or certificate may apply toward the second degree. All requirements must be fulfilled for each degree sought.

Transferability Of Courses

South Suburban College is an active member in the Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI) and the Course Applicability System (CAS). Not all courses at South Suburban College are intended for transfer. Transfer courses are designated as such in the catalog. Students who follow the recommended South Suburban College transfer courses are more likely to transfer without losing credits. Students can consult the college’s Transfer Center for details regarding program requirements for four-year colleges and universities in Illinois. Students should work with their Counselor, the Transfer Center, Program Coordinator, and/or Academic Administrator along with the IAI/CAS web sites to verify transferability of individual courses. Students who encounter a transfer problem or question should contact one of the above individuals to help resolve the issue.

Always seek the advice of a counselor when making transfer plans. Appointments are available by calling (708) 596-2000 ext. 2306.
