Transfer Opportunities
All students are encouraged to complete a program of study at KCTCS and to consider transferring to a bachelor degree program to further their academic and career goals. The AS degree includes a substantial amount of general education courses and are designed to accommodate transfer. KCTCS has developed a number of transfer agreements to assist students completing AA, AS, and AAS programs to transfer to bachelor degree programs. A list of these transfer agreements can be found at the KCTCS web site at: kctcs.edu Search words: Transfer Agreements.
If you are interested in transferring, or you just have questions about transferring, contact WKCTC's Transfer Center. Each college or university in Kentucky also has staff to provide information to KCTCS students about transferring to that specific institution.
