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 love the small campus feel. When I walk around campus, I know somebody. I get the opportunity in classrooms to connect with my instructors that I probably wouldn’t have if I went to a big university and there was over 100 people in my classroom. I get more one-on-one with the instructor and get really close to my classmates and make new friendships there too.”
