1. The NC Comprehensive Articulation Agreement allows students who have completed an A.S. degree at a North Carolina community college (and who meet all other admissions requirements) to enter public four-year institutions as juniors.
   
   
2. Not all students who earn A.S. degrees immediately transfer to complete their last two years of college. Other reasons to earn an A.S. degree include the following:
   
   
   • You can include a recognized degree on your résumé or job applications, which might distinguish you from other applicants. A completed degree tells prospective employers that you have taken your education seriously.
   • You may be eligible for promotions or raises at your place of employment. Many employers use degrees as prerequisites for pay-scales and positions.
   • You may be eligible for more jobs. Some positions require at minimum an Associate’s Degree. Broader opportunities will be available for you.
