Why Transfer to ¸£Àû¼§?

Reverse Transfer of Credit

Credit hours earned at ¸£Àû¼§ transfer back to the partner institution, so students who complete the requirements for an associate’s degree after leaving a partner institution, and before completing a bachelor's degree at ¸£Àû¼§, will earn the associate’s degree from the partner institution.
