College/University Transfer
Award: Associate of Arts & Sciences Degree
Major: College/University Transfer
The College/University Transfer program offers a core of college-level general education courses equivalent in content to those taken by freshmen and sophomores at four-year colleges and universities. The goal of this program is to provide students with a broad introduction to some of the major fields of study in the liberal arts as well as to provide the foundation for upper-level college courses. The program is flexible enough to allow students to begin to fulfill the basic transfer requirements for a variety of majors offered at senior institutions. Full-time students can complete this program in two years (excluding the time needed to complete developmental studies, if required). Part-time students determine their own pace.
In order to prepare for transfer to a four-year college or university, students may consult a counselor or faculty advisor to schedule courses that meet the specific requirements of the senior institutions they are considering. Students are also encouraged to discuss their educational plans with the admissions officers at the four-year college or university. Finally, students should request a community college transfer guide directly from the college or university in which they plan to enroll or consult that institution’s website.
Nearly all four-year colleges and universities in Virginia, as well as some private institutions in the state, now abide by the Virginia State Policy on Transfer. The policy states that students who complete the Blue Ridge Community College A.A.&S. degree in College/University Transfer will have met all lower division general education requirements at participating institutions. Please note that the policy does not guarantee admission to these institutions nor does it imply that each individual community college course will transfer. A copy of the Virginia State Policy on Transfer and additional information on articulation agreements with Virginia four-year colleges and universities are available in the College Counseling Center. The Counseling Center also has a very useful academic advising guide for the most popular transfer majors. Students may consult this guide to assist them in planning which courses to enroll in if they plan to transfer to a specific major.
Please note that the following certificates or career studies certificates may be applied towards the College/University Transfer degree: Fine Arts, Computer Science, and Information Technology.
Admission Requirements: A high school diploma or the equivalent is required for entry into this program. High school graduates who enroll in the College/University Transfer Program are encouraged to have completed a college preparatory program of study in high school (or the equivalent) which included English, mathematics (algebra I & II minimum), laboratory sciences, social sciences, and foreign languages.
Students may be eligible to receive credit for some courses in this curriculum through the College’s advanced standing process. Please consult a college counselor for additional information.

agreement to that effect. Currently BRCC has such agreements for its
graduates with many state-assisted and some private four-year
colleges and universities. Many of the courses listed below do not
transfer to every four-year college or university. It is the
student’s responsibility to
- Check with a BRCC counselor or advisor,
- Consult the transfer guides of four-year colleges and universities,
- Look up transfer requirements on the college website and/or
- Check directly with the four-year institution to which one intends to transfer, in order to determine if particular courses transfer.

Rationale for General Education Courses in the College/University Transfer Program
| We Require | Because We Expect Students To |
|---|---|
| ENG 111—112 (6 Credits) | ...develop exceptional writing skills, understand the importance and correct procedures for citing sources, develop a depth of writing ability, and be able to develop a persuasive argument in written form. |
| SPD 110 (3 Credits) | ...develop exceptional oral communication skills, increase knowledge of verbal and non-verbal language, become effective communicators in interpersonal situations for both small group and dynamic communication, orally articulate arguments for persuasive speaking and ideas for informative occasions. |
| General Mathematics (6 credits) | ...demonstrate effective quantitative methodology skills, develop quantitative reasoning ability, and expand computational proficiency. General education mathematics courses also provide students with a foundation for understanding the mathematical aspects of scientific methodology. |
| General Science (8 credits) | ...understand scientific methodology and critical inquiry. Students must also learn to apply those concepts in the laboratory setting |
| Student Development & Wellness SDV (1 credit) HLT/PED (2 credits) | ...understand concepts of personal development, health, and wellness. |
| ITE 115 or CSC 200 or ITE 120 (3 credits) | ...understand the fundamental concepts and methodologies associated with information literacy, especially those necessary for the ethical and safe use of modern technology. |
| Social and Behavioral Sciences (6 credits) | ...develop an understanding of scientific methodology in social science disciplines and expand the understanding of the breadth and depth of personal, interpersonal, social, economic, and cultural behaviors. |
| History (6 credits) | ...to understand the connections between and progress of human thought, culture, and historical events spanning generations, and to establish a methodology for critical inquiry. |
| Humanities & Fine Arts (6 credits) | ...to increase understanding and mastery of historical and modern human thought and reasoning. |
Course content represents a broad body of general knowledge about one or more of the major social, cultural, historical, or scientific forces that have shaped human identity and the world. Content is not focused upon a particular occupation or on professional skills. While most courses transfer readily to senior institutions, it is the student’s responsibility to determine if particular courses transfer to a given school.
