Transfer, Articulation Agreements, and Partnerships

See the Century College website for information regarding transfer.

This degree program is designed for both employment preparation and transfer. Some of the courses may not transfer to a number of four-year colleges. If you are considering the possibility of transfer, you may wish to talk with your advisor, counselor, or program instructor before registering to discuss your goals, look at programs designed for transfer, and develop a plan.

This degree transfers into the Computer Science Bachelors degree at Metropolitan State University through an articulation agreement. See your advisor or counselor if planning to pursue a computer-related bachelors degree.
