WOSC Associate in Art - Liberal Arts to UCO Bachelor of Science - Organizational Leadership

The University of Central Oklahoma (UCO), in collaboration with Western Oklahoma State College (WOSC), participates in articulated transfer agreements to assist students in transferring smoothly from the associate degree to the baccalaureate degree. These agreements express a shared commitment to student access and success in higher education.

This document specifies courses to be taken at WOSC and courses to be taken at UCO to meet this agreement.

Associate in Art (A.A.) - Liberal Arts

Students should refer to the associate degree requirements and an academic advisor for associate degree details to ensure a successful transition to UCO.

Western Oklahoma State College General Education

An Associate in Science (A.S.) or Associate in Art (A.A.) degree from an accredited Oklahoma institution that includes the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education (OSRHE) minimum requirements will satisfy the UCO University Core. The associate degree included in this agreement meets the UCO University Core requirements.

UCO Major Requirements Taken At WOSC

The Associate in Art - Liberal Arts may be used as the basis for the Organizational Leadership major agreement.

All the coursework included in the A.A or A.S. (up to 64 hours) credited from the community college will be applied to this B.S. degree. Students should select courses applicable to the associate degree which could be helpful in their future career interests.

Additional Coursework for the A.A. or A.S.

See WOSC catalog and academic advisor for additional associate degree requirements.

Credited courses completed as part of the A.A. or A.S. that do not meet a specific UCO degree requirement transfer to UCO as electives and may count toward the 124-hour minimum. Students should consult an academic advisor to determine how elective courses apply toward the bachelor’s degree. Information for individual courses can be found on the UCO website under the UCO Transfer Equivalency Database.
