Associate of Science in Liberal Arts (ASLA)
The ASLA degree helps prepare students to transfer into a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree program at one of Oregon’s public universities. Students in BA programs tend to need two years of a second language at the college-level. BS programs, by contrast, tend to involve more math and/or science instead of a language. However, many colleges, including Portland State University, allow students to choose a BS or a BA in many of their science majors, including chemistry, biology, and more! Students should work with their adviser, and their preferred transfer college, to pick the right classes.
MHCC majors that work well with the ASLA include:
- History
- Modern / Global Languages
- American Sign Language
- Japanese
- Spanish
- Psychology
- Sociology
See the MyMHCC portal for printable degree worksheets.
