Community College to University

<p>Is it possible to transfer to schools such as University of Maryland or University of Michigan from an out of state CC?</p>

<p>Yes, but you may lose some credits during the transfer process. Don’t take any funky courses with odd titles, and check to see if the courses you are taking have an equivalent course at each university.</p>

<p>I would take real classes such as Econ, Calc, Astr, English, etc. I would not take joke classes.</p>

<p>bump this thread</p>

<p>please help me</p>

<p>Just exactly what do you want us to tell you? That you, in particular, will be able to transfer to one of those two institutions? Well, none of us can.</p>

<p>What we can tell you is that every single year graduates of community colleges transfer into 4-year colleges and universities all over the country, including the two you have mentioned. Like for every other applicant, your options will be limited by your finances and your academic record.</p>

<p>What part of ‘yes’ did you not understand?</p>

<p>I just want to know how I can do this.</p>

<p>The best way to do this is to earn an Associates degree that is ideally articulated with baccalaureate degrees from the university you intend to transfer to. </p>

<p>Examine the requirements for graduation from those universities and make sure you take the right number and type of general education courses that will satisfy those graduation requirements. </p>

<p>Talk to your community college curriculum adviser to make sure that you are working toward an Associates degree that will transfer well. </p>

<p>Get the requirements for the major you intend to transfer to, and make sure that you have taken all the courses that Freshmen and Sophomores take in order to be ready to take Junior-level coursework.</p>

<p>Earn high grades in all your coursework, and work closely enough with at least two professors so that they will be willing to write you a good recommendation.</p>

<p>ALF said it best - EARN HIGH GRADES.</p>

<p>Nothing can supplement the GPA you accrue at a CC that will show the big boy schools what you’re capable of. In other words they don’t want someone who is likely to wash out before graduating from their college.</p>
