Transferring
Getting started at Chemeketa before transferring to another college or university makes a lot of sense. Initial general education requirements can be taken and then easily transferred to another college or university.
Chemeketa offers the Associates of Arts Transfer Degree (AAOT). With the AAOT, students can attend their first two years of college at Chemeketa and transfer to a four year college with Junior standing. See the Worksheet Here...
The OTM is another option. This option guides students through a year's worth of required academic classes. For students who are still figuring out what their major in college will be, this is a good choice. See the Worksheet Here...
Most colleges will accept up to two years of prior credit upon transfer (with or without the AAOT). How those prior classes will match that particular college's requirements can be determined by checking out their transfer equivalency guides. (See below)
Transferring for Future Art Majors
For the future art major, becoming "major ready" means you can build strong foundation art skills at Chemeketa while also fulfilling required academic courses. We recommend deciding on and then learning about your college of choice as soon as you can in your education.
We also recommend speaking with an academic advisor at Chemeketa to develop a successful term by term plan. For help with this, check out MyGamePlan (formally ePathways) below. All four-year institutions which offer a Bachelor of Art in Art or a Bachelor of Fine Arts should transfer the foundation art courses taken at Chemeketa. These include:
- ART101 Understanding Art
- ART131 Introduction to Drawing 1
- ART115, 116, 117 Basic Design
- ART 204, 205, 206 Introduction to Art History
200 level classes either fulfill required classes in the studio major or transfer as lower division art electives.
The Associates of Science Degree with an Art emphasis (AS) is an option for art students who plan to transfer to Western Oregon University. See the Worksheet Here...

Advising
We highly recommend speaking with an academic advisor at Chemeketa to develop a successful term by term plan. Getting advised prevents wasting time or money on classes that do not transfer to a four-year college as expected. Visit a faculty member to talk about careers in their discipline or contact The Advising and Counseling Center at 503.399.5120 or email.
