ACADEMIC TRANSFER DEGREES
Mid-Plains Community College (MPCC) offers the Associate of Arts (A.A.), Science (A.S.), and General Studies (A.G.S.) degrees for students intending to complete a baccalaureate degree at an upper division institution. MPCC college advisers assist students wishing to transfer using specially developed transfer guides specific to the declared major and the receiving college.
In some cases, completing the Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, or Associate of General Studies degree at MPCC satisfies the general education requirements at the freshman and sophomore levels at transfer institutions.

Students should identify a possible major at the receiving institution in order to begin the appropriate sequence of courses needed to complete their baccalaureate degrees in a timely fashion. It is important that students wishing to complete a BA or BS degree in four years complete lower division prerequisites at MPCC before enrolling in upper division courses at the transfer institution. If prerequisites are postponed, enrollment in advanced courses and eventual graduation from the transfer institution are likely to be delayed.
