Meridian Tech students – high school and adults – may receive college credit while
taking classes at Meridian Technology Center and apply that credit toward an
Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree at OSU-Institute of Technology, Cowley
College or Northern Oklahoma College. The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher
Education require an $8 per credit hour transcription fee. There is no tuition for these
college hours.
A S S O C I AT E O F A P P L I E D S C I E N C E D E G R E E ( A . A . S . ) ,
The A.A.S. is a two-year workforce degree awarded by an Oklahoma public college or
university. It is designed for students who are interested in employment in a specific
career. After completion of a Meridian program/career major with cooperative alliance
agreements, most students will only lack another 30 hours of general education credit.
Please see Meridian’s Alliance coordinator about the college degree plans.
