How do business transfers work at Central Oregon Community College?

I'm considering starting my business degree at Central Oregon Community College and then transferring to a four-year university. Does anyone have experience with how transfer agreements work there, specifically for business students?

Transfer agreements, also known as articulation agreements, between community colleges and four-year institutions are designed to ensure a smooth transition for students. When a student completes a specific set of courses at the community college, these courses are guaranteed to transfer as equivalent courses at the four-year institution.

For Central Oregon Community College (COCC), they have articulated transfer agreements with several universities for various business programs. This means that COCC has a mutual understanding with these universities to accept the credits you've earned in your Business degree at COCC, ensuring you don't lose the credits you've already earned, and can start at the university as a junior.

A specific example is the direct transfer agreement with Oregon State University's (OSU) College of Business. If you complete a Business Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer degree at COCC, you can transfer into a Bachelor's degree program in Business at OSU, already having fulfilled several of the classes needed for the degree.

Before starting your degree at COCC, I would advise you to meet with an academic advisor at both the community college and your intended four-year university to make sure your classes align with the university's requirements. This can help you avoid any setbacks and ensure that you're on track to complete your Bachelor's degree in a timely manner.

Lastly, always remain proactive in double-checking the most recent admissions and transfer requirements at the four-year institution since requirements can change from year to year.
