University Transfer Center

Start Here, Finish Anywhere.

Starting your college education at Washtenaw Community College then transferring to a four-year institution is a popular path toward finishing your bachelor’s degree. At WCC, you can complete an associate degree while saving thousands of dollars on the cost of your first two years of college. Earning your associate degree will provide you with a credential one step closer to a bachelor’s degree.
