<p>Don’t go by what the counselors at your CC are telling you. Ask the admissions office at the place you want to attend. Find out from that institution which admission (and graduation) requirements you will have met when your AA is complete, and what exactly you would need to do in order to be admitted to the program that you want. For example, you might find out that your Gen Eds are all covered, but that you need to take all of the major requirements and so you will need to be there for three full years, rather than just two.</p>
