Dear Professor Clackamas,
How much does it cost to get an AA0T at CCC?
w
-Sincerely, Dazed and Confused
hat a good question, Dazed. 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.

Correction: In the article in our previous issue “Halloween Around the World” we incorrectly reported
the study abroad director’s name. Her name is Ida Flippo. We regret the error.
