The AA-DTA, or Direct Transfer Agreement degree, represents a partnership between Washington's community colleges and four-year universities. Credits completed under this program typically transfer as a block to most bachelor's-degree-granting institutions in Washington, fulfilling the majority of lower-division general education prerequisites and conferring junior status, though admission isn't automatically assured. For the Computer Science AA-DTA, students must complete 90.5 to 91.5 quarter credits in 100-level or higher courses while maintaining at least a 2.0 overall GPA, with no single course grade falling below 1.0. The Major Related Program (MRP) variation tailors coursework for computer science majors at specific universities and appears as a distinct completion type on transcripts compared to the standard AA-DTA.
