Many students begin their education at a community college before transferring to a university.
Community college coursework often provides a strong foundation in:

Depending on the coursework and documentation provided, military-affiliated students may be able to apply eligible learning experiences toward degree requirements.
Students should work with admissions representatives to understand available options.
Do All Transfer Credits Apply to Your Major?
Not necessarily.
Some credits may apply toward:
- General education requirements
- Elective requirements
- Major-specific requirements
The way credits apply often depends on degree requirements and course equivalencies.
Even when a course transfers, it may fulfill a different requirement than it did at a previous institution.
How Can Students Maximize Transfer Credits?
Students can often maximize transfer opportunities by:
- Submitting official transcripts early
- Providing course descriptions when requested
- Working closely with admissions counselors
- Reviewing degree requirements carefully
