Ohio Guaranteed Transfer Pathways
The Ohio Guaranteed Transfer Pathways (OGTPs) are designed to provide a clearer path to degree completion for students pursuing associate degrees who plan to transfer to an Ohio public university to complete their bachelor’s degree. The OGTPs also constitute an agreement between public community colleges and universities confirming that community college courses meet major preparation requirements and will be counted and applied toward the bachelor’s degree. Students still must meet all university program admission requirements, which in some cases may be competitive.
Students may review all Ohio Guaranteed Transfer Pathways available at every Ohio public college or university on the Ohio Department of Higher Education'g Ohio Guaranteed Transfer Pathway website. Programs that have earned the "OGTP" designation at Columbus State are indicated on the transfer graduation plan (pathway). Students who complete these programs as they are written will have the designation "Ohio Guaranteed Transfer Pathway" on their official Columbus State transcript.
