What transfer programs does Spokane Community College offer?

I'm exploring my options at Spokane Community College and I'm interested in learning about their transfer programs. Which programs are available that help students transition to universities smoothly?

Spokane Community College provides comprehensive pathways for students who want to transfer to four-year universities. Known as their Direct Transfer Agreements (DTA), these pathways ensure smooth credit transition to a large number of universities.

1. Associate in Arts DTA: This program provides a broad foundation across multiple disciplines including humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. It prepares students for a variety of bachelor's degree programs in liberal arts and sciences.

2. Associate in Business DTA/MRP: This pathway is designed for students planning to transfer to a university to complete a Bachelor's Degree in Business. It covers foundational courses in Accounting, Economics, Math, and Business Law.

3. Associate in Science Transfer (AS-T): This pathway has two tracks. Track 1 is for students interested in transferring to science-related programs like Chemistry, Biology, Environmental/Earth Science, Geology, or Atmospheric Science. Track 2 is designed for students aiming to pursue degrees in Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or Atmospheric Science.

4. Associate in Pre-Nursing DTA/MRP: Students who plan to apply to a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program will find this pathway suitable. However, it is important to note that admission into BSN programs can be highly competitive and completion of the degree does not guarantee admission to all BSN programs.

5. Associate of Applied Science Transfer (AAS-T): This program is designed for students who completed an applied or technical degree and wish to continue their education. It is limited to specific programs and accepting universities.

Before selecting a pathway, it's advisable to research your desired four-year institution and program to ensure the credits you earn will meet their specific prerequisites or degree requirements. Academic advisors at Spokane Community College can also help guide you in choosing a suitable transfer program aligned with your future academic goals. They can assist you with course selection, transfer application procedures, and deadlines.
