    NVCC, my local community college, has a number of agreements with mostly local universities in which students who do well enough while earning a Master's are guaranteed two years of transfer credit and admission to one or more of the university's Bachelor's degree programs.

    So far that's neither unusual nor amazing. What I was surprised to see was that those completing an AAS degree in Information Systems Technologies are eligible to enter the UK Open University's postgraduate diploma and Master's degree programs in Advanced Networking, Computing for Commerce and Industry, and Software Development.

    Is anyone aware of other similar opportunities?

    Based on your title I assume you mean do well in an AA/AS, not Masters?

    It is not uncommon for British Unis to admit students to master's programs who lack a proper bachelor's degree. Sometimes they're required to complete a certificate or diploma program prior to entry.

    Oops, yes, JBjunior. See, it's... um... so weird to me I couldn't even type it correctly! Yeah, that's the ticket!
