I'm looking at starting my college education at a community college, and York County caught my eye. Do they have strong transfer agreements with four-year universities?
Yes, York County Community College (YCCC) offers several transfer opportunities through its articulation agreements with a number of four-year universities. These agreements are designed to provide students who graduate from YCCC with a smooth transition to a four-year institution, often guaranteeing junior-year status upon transfer.
The specific opportunities for transfer will depend on the focus of your studies at YCCC. For example, YCCC has agreements with University of Maine system, Southern New Hampshire University, Husson University, and others. It's also worth mentioning that many of these agreements ensure that all credits earned at YCCC will be accepted by the partnering institutions, which can significantly reduce the time and cost to complete a bachelor’s degree.
However, it's important to touch base with a transfer advisor at YCCC to understand the particular requirements for each agreement and ensure you're taking the right courses to successfully transfer to the desired program at the four-year institution.
It's also a good idea to reach out to the admissions office of the four-year institution to which you're considering transferring to understand their end of the transfer process. Such dialogue can help you plan your course schedule at YCCC to ensure a seamless transfer.
