When you’re looking for an education that’s going to help you get a good job, four straight years of college is a long time – longer than many people are able to commit to.

For this reason, the WSU College of Applied Science and Technology (COAST) offers a “2+2” structure in its programs: You could earn your associate’s degree in two years and find a job in your field. Then, when the time is right, pick up where you left off and complete your bachelor’s degree in two more years to improve your career prospects.

These 2+2 programs offer an easy-to-follow course sequence that makes sure you complete all the requirements necessary to earn your degrees. Depending on the program you choose, you may also have the chance to earn skills certification – additional credentials that will prepare you for work and make you an attractive job candidate.

Contact the COAST advisement office to get more information about the 2+2 program you're interested in.
