Reverse Transfer
Students who transferred from a Michigan community college to a Michigan university can transfer credits back to the community college to earn an associate degree. The process is simple and free.
Why Earn an Associates Degree?

College Success
Community college students with an associate degree are more likely to earn a bachelors degree.

Increased Earnings
Associate degree recipients earn $423,000 more in a lifetime than people with only a high school diploma.

Greater Job Security
Associate degree earners experience less unemployment than the average American worker and less than a person with only a high school diploma.
