Two-Year College Degrees
Reach Your Dreams, Faster
In just two years, you can graduate and be transfer-ready, or start earning faster by going directly into the workforce.
Two-year transfer degrees may be the equivalent of the first two years of study required by four-year colleges and universities, and the degrees include core course work you'll need to complete before concentrating on your major field of study.
Choose the path that’s right for you, then start your application. We're looking forward to meeting you!
You can transfer your Associate of Arts (A.A.), Associate of Science (A.S.), or Associate of Applied Arts (A.A.A.) liberal arts degree to a four-year school. Kirkwood graduates even have guaranteed admission into Iowa, Iowa State, or UNI!
Whether your degree is an A.A., A.S., or A.A.A. depends on your major.
A technical Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree prepares you for an in-demand technical job after graduation.
The hands-on instruction takes place in our well-equipped campus labs and in the field during paid internships.

“I work full time and drive about an hour to come to class. I come to campus part time and take the rest of my classes online, so that helps make it all possible for me. It’s nice to have online options and some flexibility, but it’s nice to get to meet and know people face-to-face when I’m on campus for class too.”
