Will you transfer from KCC before earning an associate degree?
REVERSE IT!
About the program: This program is between Oregon’s public community colleges and universities and offers students, who have not yet received a degree, the option of obtaining an associate degree through "reverse transfer." The program allows students who have earned at least 24 credits from Klamath Community College, to earn an associate degree after having moved to another college by applying college credits received elsewhere toward a KCC associate degree. Students, who have at least 24 credits from KCC and 90 or more total credits between KCC and any other regionally accredited institution, are encouraged to take part in the "reverse transfer" degree evaluation. See Steps to Your Reverse Transfer Degree below to get started today.
Benefits of obtaining an associate degree:
- It creates motivation by a feeling of accomplishment. Students who receive an associate degree through "reverse transfer" can see that hard work pays off and are more likely to complete a bachelor’s degree.
- Having both an associate degree and bachelor’s degree on your resume reflects a broader view of your education and is more enticing to future employers.
- If you find it necessary to take a break in your education, it will be much easier to re-enter the university system by already having an associate degree.
- An associate degree that is in a more technical or applied area than a bachelor’s degree, can signal to potential employers that you have both hands-on and theoretical knowledge in a given field.
