Clackamas Community College’s website lists their Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer (AAOT) degree as a “two-year de gree that has been designed for the student intending to transfer to a four- year college or university, pursuing upper division baccalaureate courses.” What does that mean? Get your stuff done here and move on to focus on your major at a college that hopefully has a better plumbing system. An AAOT, which is 90 credits, by my estimation, costs about $9,468. It’s averaged that an AAOT student takes about 15 credits a term. At roughly $84 a pop, that’s $1,378, according to Jim Huckestein, vice president of college services. Three terms (not including summer) is $4,134. Add another year, and that’s $8,268. However, that doesn’t include books (I estimate at a whop ping $200 a term), so that’s $600 for three terms, two years is $1,200. That also doesn’t include fees. Oh, and don’t forget to factor in the emotional stress that causes a mental breakdown because of cost, lack of sleep, lack of a social life or the burden of $9,468, only to be faced with steeper debt once you enter a university. Priceless. \ .
