Louisiana Transfer Associate Degrees (AALT/ASLT) - The goal of the Louisiana Transfer Degree is to maximize the transfer of academic credits from two-year technical or community colleges to four-year institutions.  The transfer associate degree gives two-year college students the opportunity to complete 60 hours of course work toward a baccalaureate degree before transferring to a public Louisiana university.  Students may complete either an Associate of Arts/Louisiana Transfer (AA/LT) degree or an Associate of Science/Louisiana Transfer (AS/LT) degree depending on the baccalaureate program being pursued.
