AFTER LANE
Looking to move out of state or go to a private school? Many students have transferred to their dream program at schools across the country. Lane’s music program will help prepare you for what’s next!
Our AS degree lets you focus on music without the same amount gen ed requirements, so you won't exceed financial aid benefits. The AS still works as a transfer degree, but with a greater focus on music. Unlike the AAOT, however, the AS does not guarantee junior standing once you transfer.
If you complete your AAOT degree at Lane, you’ll transfer as a junior at any Oregon public university. Through our articulation agreement with the University of Oregon School of Music and Dance, if you receive a “B” or better in our core music classes, you’ll be able to seamlessly transfer into the next sequence at UO.
No matter what your goals are, our academic and faculty music advisors will help you navigate and create an academic plan. Why wait? Start your music path at Lane today!
