There are two major types of transfer students: the ones who start off at a two-year college and then transfer to a four-year one, and students who transfer between four-year institutions. Let's take a look at the first approach.

There are many good reasons to start at a two-year college:

  • Shorter time commitment: Maybe you feel you are not quite ready for a four-year commitment
  • Affordability:  Starting at a 2-year college may be more affordable to you
  • Proximity: Maybe you need to stay close to home and that is the closest higher education institution
  • Work opportunities: Maybe you would like to start working in your chosen career after earning your first two-year credential

These are all valid reasons to consider transferring as a pathway to your desired degree. However, if you know your goal is to get a four-year degree, there is some planning you should do prior to starting your education at a two-year institution.
