It’s never been easier and more convenient to transfer community college credits to both the state universities as well as private colleges.
Eastern Iowa Community Colleges (EICC) works closely with the University of Iowa, Iowa State University, the University of Northern Iowa, St. Ambrose University, Western Illinois University and others to make transferring a seamless process.
To learn more about how that works, EICC has scheduled three upcoming Transfer Information Events to answer any questions prospective students might have. All three sessions begin at 9 a.m.:
· Thursday, February 18 – Muscatine Community College, 152 Colorado St., Muscatine
· Tuesday, February 23 – Clinton Community College, 1000 Lincoln Boulevard, Clinton
· Thursday, February 25 – Scott Community College, 500 Belmont Road, Bettendorf
EICC maintains formal Transfer Agreements with all three state universities and many private colleges detailing how credits earned at Clinton, Muscatine and Scott Community Colleges transfer.
The colleges also have Joint Admissions Agreements with some colleges. For those students knowing where they will transfer after completing their studies here, they already have the benefits of admission at that university. In effect, they are already students of both the local community college and the university from the first day they begin classes.
Students beginning at the community colleges essentially take the same classes they will take during the first two years at the university. Studies have shown that students transferring to the university do just as well as those who began their college education there.
In addition, community college students have the opportunity to get to know their instructors a little better thanks to smaller class sizes and they save tuition dollars. EICC’s tuition is the most competitive in the state of Iowa and is hundreds less than the state universities, thousands less than the private colleges.
