Transfer Programs
An important role of a community
college is to provide programs of study allowing students to complete
requirements for the first two years of a baccalaureate degree. Harper
defines these programs as transfer programs.
As a guide for the student, the following programs of study leading to
the associate in arts, associate in science, associate in fine arts or
associate in engineering science degrees are recommended.
The programs are “recommended” in the sense that they are planned
to provide students with the specific requirements of Harper’s transfer
degrees and the general requirements of the freshman and sophomore years
of most colleges and universities.
In most cases, students are better served by earning an A.A., A.S., A.F.A.–Art,
A.F.A.–Music, or A.E.S., degree before transfer. Individual baccalaureate-oriented
credits earned at Harper College are also transferable to other institutions
of higher learning.
Transfer students are responsible to know the specific requirements of
the institutions they are considering for transfer and should consult
with those institutions directly. In addition, students should make an
appointment with a student development faculty member at Harper College.
Ideally students should see a counselor to discuss their transfer plans
prior to registering for courses each semester. Resource materials and
counseling assistance are available in Harper’s Student Development
Centers in the Business and Social Science Center, I117, the Science,
Math and Health Careers Center, D142, and the Student and Administration
Center, A347.
