Bachelor of Arts Community Advocates and Responsive Education in Human Services, Tribal Vocational Rehabilitation Concentration, Junior Entry Option

The Junior Entry Option is for students who have earned an approved Associate's degree. Northwest Indian College accepts the Associate in Arts Direct Transfer Agreement (DTA) from Washington state community colleges. Students who have completed another type of associate’s degree should consult with an advisor because additional coursework may be necessary to complete program requirements. Students who have earned an approved Associate of Arts and Sciences degree or the equivalent may apply 90 credits toward completion of the program requirements. Students who have completed the Associate of Applied Science Transfer in Early Childhood Education or an Associate of Technical Arts in Chemical Dependency Studies, or other type of Associate’s degree at NWIC or another college or university may transfer up to 90 credits toward completion of the program requirements, although they may need to complete additional general education requirements. Students need to consult with an advisor and request a credit evaluation to determine if additional coursework is required to complete the program requirements. The following describes the coursework required for completion of the transfer option for a student who has completed an Associate of Arts and Sciences degree.
