rails

So I have a create_table like this for Courses at a School:

create_table :courses do |t|
  t.string :name
  t.references :course
  t.timestamps
end

but I want it to reference TWO other courses like:

has_many :transferrable_as #a Course

has_many :same_as #another Course

can I say

t.references :transferrable_as, :as=> :course

?
