Degrees and Certificates


While DVC does not offer specific career and counseling degrees or certificates, our courses help you choose the program that best matches your carer goals and earn credits toward your degree or certificate for on-the-job learning.

About degrees and certificates

Certificates:

A certificate readily prepares you to enter a particular field or career. It can also give you new skills for advancement in the workplace.

Associate Degrees: 

An associate degree requires a broader education for career options in a range of industries. It's a great step toward earning a bachelor degree at a four-year school or entering the workforce sooner. 

Associate Degrees for Transfer: 

A transfer degree is equivalent to the first two years of a bachelor's degree program. Earning one can gruarantee admission to California State Universities, some private and online universities, and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). ADTs, along with a transfer agreement guarantee (TAG) with the University of California system can help you achieve your goals for less. Learn about transfer services.
