I want to get a bachelor's degree in accounting. Would you be able to answer my question?

1. A person may earn an AA and, if they are academically qualified, transfer to a university to complete a Bachelor's degree.

2. A person who plans to earn a Bachelor's degree does not need to earn an AA or AS degree. They can simply take general education and introductory courses at the community college before applying to transfer.

3. Most universities will consider transfer applications from a community college student who has earned between 24 and 60 credits at the CC with a GPA of 3.0 or higher.

In most cases, yeah, you can do that. But you're right, you should definitely check.

My spouse is a prof at a university, and every few years she has to go through huge lists of community colleges' courses in her field, and decide which ones qualify as "transferring" and which ones don't. It's a complicated system.

yes, it's as you've said. Community College to get your undergrad classes done, then transfer to University.

Yes. However, you do not need an associates degree in order to transfer; you can transfer any time. So, study the courses that the four-year school's accounting program requires of its freshmen and sophomore students, and concentrate on those.

No course, from any school, is guaranteed to transfer to EVERY college.

Therefore, when you are researching which courses transfer, be sure to ask your adviser to see whether your community college has a "transfer agreement" or a "matriculation agreement" with the specific four-year school you anticipate attending. These agreements may spell out which courses will be accepted for credit at the four-year school, and may also define the circumstances under which you will be GUARANTEED admission at the four-year school.

no A.A necessary. do the GE classes at jr college then transfer to 4yr school. Save 1000's
