How the 2+2 transfer path works

Start at a community college, transfer to a 4-year university, and graduate with the same degree for a fraction of the cost.

1

Pick your target

Choose the 4-year university and major you want to transfer into. We'll show you what's required.

2

Check your courses

Use the Credit Simulator to see which of your CC courses transfer and which prerequisites you still need.

3

See your savings

Compare the cost of 2 years at CC + 2 years at university vs. 4 years at university. Most students save $20,000-$50,000.

4

Apply and transfer

Track application deadlines, hit the GPA minimum, and submit your transfer application on time.

Same degree

Your diploma says the university name, not the CC

Save thousands

CC tuition is typically 1/3 the cost of a 4-year school

Same timeline

2+2 = 4 years total, just like going straight to university
