Labette Community College

Degree Requirements

Associate in Arts	Associate in Science
Associate in Applied Science	Associate in General Studies

A student may select a concentration program under one of four Associate Degrees: Associate in Arts, Associate in Science, Associate in Applied Science, and Associate in General Studies. In addition, some programs offer certificates. A certificate can be earned for specific courses ranging from 16-37 credit hours. Certificates are offered in Business and Technology and other specific programs. Associate in Arts and Associate in Science degrees are designed for the transfer student. The Associate in Applied Science or Associate in General Studies degrees will transfer only to specific degree programs at selected colleges or universities. Generally, these degrees will only apply toward bachelor’s degrees for which the purposes are technology occupations. The minimum requirements are incorporated in each program in the following section of the catalog. The student’s academic adviser must approve substitutions for concentration requirements. The Registrar must approve general education substitutions. Developmental courses will not be counted toward fulfilling degree requirements. A minimum of 60 credit hours is required for all associate degrees, but many concentrations require more than 60 hours.

The Partnership for Learning and Networking (PLAN) is a collaborative set of 2+2 baccalaureate degree completion programs developed by Washburn University to expand access to higher education throughout Kansas.

The PLAN programs allow you to complete an associate degree at Labette Community College and then a bachelor’s degree from Washburn University in another two years without traveling to Topeka for classes. The 2+2 PLAN degree programs include the:

Bachelor of Integrated Studies

Bachelor of Science in Nursing

Bachelor of Health Science

Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice

Bachelor of Applied Science in Technology Administration

These degree programs require completion of an associate degree from Labette Community College and a minimum of 60 semester credit hours from an accredited four-year university, including 30 hours from Washburn University and 45 upper division hours. All of the required Washburn University courses are offered via the Internet, interactive television (ITV), or other instructional media.
