Why This Program

The Individualized Transfer Studies degree is intended for students who have identified their baccalaureate college of choice and intended major, and are pre-planning a program of NCC courses to fulfill the general distribution requirements.

 

The degree consists of a three-part curriculum: NCC's current General Education core for the associates in arts programs, one Humanities and one Social Science course, and 30 credit hours that align with the requirements of your selected degree program at your transfer institution.

 

By working closely with your advisor, you can select courses from NCC that are required by and transferable to your predetermined four-year institution. Doing so will provide you with an affordable head-start on your baccalaureate degree.
