Transferring from Mass Bay Community College?

I'm currently at Mass Bay Community College and thinking about transferring to a four-year college. Does anyone have advice or know what colleges have strong transfer agreements with Mass Bay?

It's fantastic that you're considering making the move from community college to a four-year institution! Mass Bay has established partnerships with several universities to support students in this process.

One key agreement is with Framingham State University, which allows for a seamless transfer of credits for specific academic programs. Mass Bay also has a joint admissions agreement with the University of Massachusetts. This program guarantees students admission to UMass if certain academic requirements are met.

There are also MassTransfer Agreements with many four-year state schools in Massachusetts, enabling smooth transfers of credits between community colleges and the state's four-year universities. Some of these schools include Worcester State University, UMass Boston, and Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts.

You'll want to work closely with your academic advisor at MassBay to ensure you're taking courses that will transfer to the four-year institution you're interested in. Ideally, you can tailor your coursework to align with the general education or major-specific requirements of the transfer institution.

Lastly, keep in mind that completion of an associate’s degree program often increases the likelihood of successful transfer and acceptance into a four-year college. Good luck with your transfer!
