Oakton Community College has several transfer agreements in place with other institutions. These agreements are designed to simplify the transition from Oakton to four-year institutions, allowing students to seamlessly continue their education.

These aren't all, and the specific agreement details can vary from program to program. Generally, these agreements guarantee admission, provide a clear roadmap of which courses to take at Oakton, and demonstrate how those courses will fit into a bachelor's degree at the four-year institution.

You should check with Oakton's advising office for the most up-to-date information, as transfer agreements can change, and new ones are added sometimes. It could also be advantageous to meet with a counselor at both Oakton and the four-year institution to ensure you're taking the appropriate courses.

Keep in mind that while these agreements simplify the transfer process, there may still be separate requirements for certain competitive or capped majors at these institutions. Therefore, it's crucial to stay informed and follow the guidance of your advisors.
