Iris Palmer was quoted in U.S. News & World Report about how community colleges students can transition to a four-year university.
Transfer students can then earn a bachelor’s degree while only having to pay two years of higher tuition.
“When you get an associate’s degree at a community college, you start as a junior when you transfer to a four-year university,” says Iris Palmer, deputy director of community colleges at New America’s Education Policy program. “So you take your general education and you don’t have to redo it or add on classes at the four-year (college).”
Hunt learned about his college’s transfer agreement program shortly after enrolling at Washtenaw. He plans to enroll in Eastern Michigan University after earning his associate degree.
