In Oregon, the most popular AA degree is the AAOT (Oregon
Transfer) which guarantees admission as a Junior at any State of
Oregon college or university. The mathematics requirement for
this "Block Transfer" is one four-credit mathematics course for
which Intermediate Algebra is a prerequisite. There are no
non-mathematical options available as an alternative.
Good Luck in your fight against the forces of mediocrity!
