Upper Level Transfer Opportunities

Upper-level transfer agreements enable College Tech Prep associate degree graduates to continue their education in 4-year bachelor degree programs at other colleges and universities.

Often, these agreements allow the student to transfer most or all of the associate degree college credit, and apply it toward the 4-year bachelor (baccalaureate) degree. In some cases, all of the credit applies, which enables the student to begin the bachelor degree with junior status, for a considerable savings in time and tuition.

The table below shows the transfer opportunities in place (as of the date above)for post-secondary Tech Prep students attending the following Heart of Ohio Consortium partner institutions: Central Ohio Technical College; Columbus State Community College; The Electrical Trades Center; Ohio University Chillicothe Campus, and Ohio University Lancaster Campus
