Transferring from ԹϺ

Start at ԹϺ

ԹϺ is proud of the many pathway options our students have to complete an Applied Bachelor's degree, both at ԹϺ, and at in-state universities and colleges. All degrees, whether DTA/MRP, AAS-T or AAS, can fulfill transfer requirements at multiple institutions thanks to the articulation (transfer) agreements between ԹϺ and the transfer college.

An applied bachelor's degree can improve your chances in the job market and help you make more money. Employers want graduates with:

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Critical thinking skills
  • Complex problem-solving skills
  • Applied knowledge in real-world settings
  • A broad (rather than narrow) education

Other Transfer Options

Transfer to a college or university program that do not have articulation agreements with ԹϺ (not listed above) IS possible, but needs careful planning and may require taking additional courses. Meeting with an advisor early on in your program will help you select courses suited for your transfer.

Without a clear transfer pathway, colleges and universities will evaluate your ԹϺ transcript course by course. Many institutions have course equivalency charts on their websites to help students see how courses transfer. Local colleges and universities with charts online include: , , , , , , , , and .

If you are thinking of applying to transfer to the University of Washington, you may also find the transfer planner helpful.

Transferring out of state? keeps course equivalencies for many colleges across the country.

Washington 45 is a list of general education courses offered at both community and technical colleges as well as public four-year schools. ԹϺ offers many of these courses. Most four-year schools accept that these courses meet a year's worth of general education requirements toward a Bachelor's degree. The largest number of credits that can transfer is 45.
