AAS Transfer Plan
Human Services Technology, AAS to Social Work, BSW
Associate in Applied Science degrees through the North Carolina Community College system are not necessarily
designed to transfer to 4-year institutions. However, ECU wants to see you complete your bachelor’s degree
regardless of the associate degree you complete. Therefore, we have created AAS Transfer Plans for popular
NCCCS AAS degrees.
The Social Work, BSW is a program of classroom study and fieldwork. The program supports the concept that
