CCBC Transfer to AAS Programs & English Requirements

ENGLISH COMPOSITION NOTE FOR MC STUDENTS PLANNING TO TRANSFER TO CCBC Community College of Baltimore County FOR AN AAS DEGREE

CCBC Community College of Baltimore County www.ccbcmd.edu/ has many specialized Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degrees that may be of interest to MC students, including but not limited to:

• Automotive Technology (Manufacturer-Specific Options) AAS
• Dental Hygiene AAS
• Veterinary Technology AAS
• See the List of All Degrees Offered at CCBC:  https://www.ccbcmd.edu/Programs-and-Courses/Degrees-and-Certificates.aspx

NOTE:  For CCBC’s AAS Degrees, students transferring from Montgomery College need to complete ENGL 102 (or ENGL 103) which will transfer as CCBC’s ENGL 101 for all AAS Associate of Applied Science degrees.  This is confusing because CCBC has a 2-part ENGL sequence for their Associate of Arts degrees that includes ENGL 101 & ENGL 102, but for their AAS degrees, CCBC’s ENGL 101 includes additional research writing skills which make this course eligible to be the only ENGL required for AAS degrees.  MC’s ENGL 101 is not accepted as a direct equivalent for CCBC’s ENGL 101 because our ENGL 101 introduces documentation, but ENGL 102 or 103 is where MC students develop research skills that meet the Maryland standard for an English Composition course.

MC students hoping to meet admissions requirements for CCBC’s Dental Hygiene or Mortuary Science AAS degrees need to take MC’s ENGL 102 to meet the ENGL 101 requirement for CCBC AAS degrees that have competitive minimum prerequisites.

This is confusing but it is a “just know this” situation, for students hoping to transfer to CCBC, completion of ENGL 102 (or ENGL 103) is a must.
