Reverse Transfer | Maricopa Community Colleges

Finish what you started...

The Reverse Transfer initiative is a collaborative effort between Maricopa Community Colleges and Arizona’s major universities. Students who transfer early (without completing their associate degree) to a participating Arizona university from a Maricopa Community College are given the opportunity to combine community college and university credits to determine if missing associate degree requirements have been met.

Reasons to get a Reverse Transfer degree

Complete it while pursuing a bachelor's degree

The number one reason you should pursue a Reverse Transfer degree that you may have already earned it! You may have already completed requirements for your associate degree—by participating, this initiative can help you obtain the degree you have earned.

Increase your earning potential

Having an associate degree is a marketable credential for your resume. An associate degree can make students more competitive for employment and internships while finishing up a bachelor's degree.

Plan for life's changes

Life doesn't always go as anticipated, so obtaining a college degree is important in today's competitive job market. The Reverse Transfer initiative can make sure you receive the degree you have already earned.
