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.) or Associate of Science (A.S.) 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. or A.S. 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.
Healthcare
If you have a passion for helping and healing, get started on an in-demand career. We have programs in Nursing, Dental, Medical Lab Technology, Medical Assisting, and more!
Hospitality
Learn from the best, working alongside gourmet chefs at The Class Act Restaurant and professional hoteliers at The Hotel at Kirkwood Center, the only luxury teaching hotel in the country!
“Graduating high school, I wasn’t sure on what I wanted to major in and I figured since Kirkwood had smaller classes, more advisors and professors, they could help me along the way – and they did!”
