This is probably the most commonly asked question by students who are planning to transfer to a four-year school. It is important to note that transferring a Liberal Arts Degree generally insures a smooth transition to most four-year schools. However, there is no automatic and complete guarantee of the acceptance of credits.

Otherwise, students may find themselves needing an extra semester of coursework in order to enter into the major of their choice as a junior or spending an extra semester at the end of senior year at the four-year college.
