An AA degree earned at Pine Technical and Community College is recommended primarily as the transfer degree that enables students to transfer to a Minnesota four-year university and complete a bachelor’s degree. Pine Technical and Community College’s AA degree provides students with the opportunity, for those who choose, to complete a broad general education degree with an option to transfer to one of Minnesota State college and university system schools, or to a number of other partner colleges.
