There are many different types of college programs. Our programs at Walla Walla Community College emphasize hands-on training opportunities focused on in-demand careers. There are six month, two year (AAS) degree options, and two year transfer (AAS-T) degree options. AAS degrees are Associate of Applied Arts and Sciences degrees. Upon completion of this type of degree students have the skills necessary to work in their selected career. Students with this degree typically start at the technician level. AAS-T degrees are Associate in Applied Science Transfer Degrees. An AAS-T degree prepares students to transfer to a partner baccalaureate institution like Washington State University. Students complete two years at Walla Walla Community College and two years at Washington State University, so they earn their baccalaureate degree in four years.
The Water Technologies & Management Program is about training and job placement.
