Degree-in-Three

The Degree-in-Three program is designed as a way for students in central Minnesota who cannot take daytime classes to earn their Associate in Arts degree by taking a combination of night, off-campus, or Web-based classes.  Individually, you may take more or less than three years to earn the degree depending on factors such as how many classes you take each semester and whether you have credits you can transfer to CLC. 

There is nothing you need to do in order to be part of the Degree-in-Three program.  It is not a formal program; rather, it is a way of helping you to know which classes will be made available in your area and when.  However, if you have not applied to Central Lakes College you need to contact the Admissions office or check out the college Web site for the guidelines and forms.  After that, you may plan your own schedules, although we encourage you to contact one of our counselors.  They are especially helpful in working with you to understand the requirements you need to meet in order to earn your A.A. degree and be ready to transfer to work on your bachelor’s degree. 

If you have any questions please call Central Lakes College and ask for Rebecca Best, Dean of Educational Services, or any one of the counselors.
