GET THAT BACHELOR’S DEGREE If you plan on getting a bachelor’s degree, than Redlands should definitely be a stop on your path. Many students come to Redlands to take general education classes like English, math and chemistry. They want to finish those classes before they get to a 4-year school. Why? Well, tuition at Redlands costs much less than most 4-year schools. We offer the same financial aid programs like work study, OHLAP, and grants that you would get at other schools. Worried your classes won’t transfer? Well, once you hold that associate’s degree, you should have no problem transferring. Our students transfer to schools like OU, OSU, Texas A&M, UCO, OCU and many more!
