MORE Paths
COLLEGE TRANSFER PROGRAMS
Here’s a secret: biology is biology no matter where you take the course. But the cost isn’t the same. Do your first two years at EICC and wipe out those required general education courses, then transfer to finish your bachelor’s degree.
The 24 months and 60+ credits you earn with us typically costs less than one year at most public or private universities. Your advisor guides you through your options, classes, and the transfer process. And articulation agreements ensure your EICC credits count when you move on to the next campus.
TRANSFER MAJORS
Already know what you want to major in? In our Transfer Major associate’s degree programs, the credits and courses you take are pre-arranged with our partner colleges. In most cases, you will complete required general education courses at EICC and take classes tied to your major. Complete the path as it is laid out, and all of your credits will transfer.
TRANSFER ADVANTAGES
⊲ Low tuition and lots of scholarships.
⊲ Affordable required general education courses.
⊲ Robust student support, services, and activities.
