Transfer Majors Make Iowa Central A Great Place to Start

Whether you are interested in Agriculture or Theater, or anywhere in between, Iowa Central offers numerous pathways for students to choose from which directly transfer to a four-year university. “When a student enrolls in one of the transfer majors we offer, it is a seamless transition from Iowa Central to our state universities,” points out Dr. Jesse Ulrich, President of Iowa Central Community College.

Transfer majors, which include a wide range of programs at Iowa Central, have articulation agreements with the three Iowa regent universities as well as several four-year private colleges. The agreements specifically align each class in the pathway with the requirements of the courses required at the university. “When a student chooses a transfer major, we provide the student with the specific list of required courses to complete at Iowa Central for that particular program so there’s no guess work for the student. It’s a clear path to the next step,” shares Dr. Stacy

Mentzer, Vice President of Instruction. “Our goal is to make the process as easy as possible,” adds Dr. Mentzer.

Financially, there is a significant cost savings for students and their family. Based on 12 credit hours, the average cost of tuition between the three state universities is around $8,500 per year. Iowa Central is approximately $4, 600. “The Transfer programs directly align with our purpose which is to help students earn their degrees in the shortest amount of time possible with the least amount of debt so they can go on to have a better life,” shares Dr. Ulrich. Iowa Central has strategically focused on growing the number of transfer majors they offer and now offers the most of any community college in Iowa.
