| Abstract | Policy memo that provides a brief description of the Associate of Arts/Oregon Transfer degree (AA/OT) program and proposes policy options intended to address current program limitations. Under the direction of Oregon Legislative Assembly, officials from the community college and university sectors developed and implemented a set of general requirements for a block-transfer degree. Any student who completes an Oregon community college Associate of Arts/Oregon Transfer degree and who transfers to an institution in the Oregon University System has met the lower-division general education requirements of the university's baccalaureate degree programs. The author asserts that despite the transfer program's popularity within the transfer-student landscape of Oregon, the program presents significant limitations for those students who enter the community college with specific career goals and, as a result, could benefit from a more individualized curriculum. Some of the problematic issues with the degree include: campus-to-campus variability, sequence requirements, advising issues, and community college to community college transfer. The policy memo concludes with recommendations to improve the AA/OT initiative. Examples include mandating uniform implementation of the current AA/OT, improving the advising function of community colleges, and establishing a statewide, standardized, transferable, lower-division general education curriculum.
