Should I get the entire associate degree or just transfer some credits?
Having an associate's degree will usually make a student more competitive for admission and the guaranteed admissions agreements require completion of the entire degree. Some schools only transfer specific courses but each school will have different requirements such as completion of a minimum number of credits, completion of specific courses, or completion of core content/general education equivalences. Check with each school to determine the requirements.
*Guaranteed admission agreements are very specific in nature and have detailed requirements that vary by school. Check with the counseling and advising office for more information on each agreement.
