CAST degrees equip transfer students with technology and social science degrees that lead to exciting new careers with tremendous employment potential. Our faculty is a mix of academic and career professionals in your chosen field of study, so you always get the best of current theory and practice in the classroom.
We're equally committed to providing you with a degree that is accessible and affordable through our 100% online transfer degrees. Students transferring an AAS degree from an Arizona community college or Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) can transfer up to 75 credits towards their CAST program, leaving 45 credits to complete a CAST BAS degree.

We'll prepare you for an amazingly complex, interconnected, and rapidly changing world. Convergence is also the founding concept for our brand-new Cyber Convergence Center (C3) focused on bridging the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) human-technology divide through applied research. Opportunities to do research and project-based learning are available to all CAST students.
