LAUNCH FOR LESS

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.
