Finding schools for finishing AAS degree

Is there a efficient way of looking for schools that offer bachelors in AAS which is Associate of Applied Science Degree? My school gives a few schools which they recommend but a lot of them are small schools that don't offer much in class selection. Most of the state schools just offer Computer Science degrees which wont accept my elective credits, I would like a list of schools that accepts them. It's a hassle looking through each schools site, finding the degree catalog and then looking at the classes they are offering the next two semesters.
I'm guessing I'll be going out of state, it's more expensive but they cut higher education here in Nevada so much that they aren't offering much in terms of selection of classes. I don't care for this state anymore and just want to get out after I'm done with my AAS. I'm sure I'll need some financial aid due to being from a different state but I think finding a list of schools would be a priority. I have a semester or two before I'm done but I would like to get things rolling soon.

An AAS (I'm assuming it's technically oriented here) has more classes that are geared to provide immediate training versus an AA or AS which prepares you for transfer to a four-year institution, and thus, if the AAS classes will transfer at all they're usually accepted as elective credit.
What I would do is determine what it is you want to study and then look for schools that offer that major. A major in IS or IT would be more appropriate given the courses you usually see in an AAS. There are excellent B&M and on-line options available (avoid the for-profits) but without having an idea of what you want to study or where you want to live it's hard to make suggestions.Complete: MSMIS, MBA, EPIC certified

I don't see why you couldn't transfer into a 4 yr program with those courses...don't push off a CS degree thought. It may have a tendency to have alot of programming but overall the knowledge gained from the curriculum. I would look for anything IS/IT/CS and see what you can get from it. How many credits are schools saying will transfer for you?
