What are the benefits to earning an Associate degree from CGCC before transferring to a university?
You may find a significant cost savings by obtaining your Associate degree at CGCC instead of attending a four-year college or university during your first two years of college in the U.S. Many students will satisfy their general education requirements after completing an Associate degree at CGCC and transfer to a university in junior standing (3rd year student). We have articulation agreement with all three state universities so that don’t lose any or minimal credit when you transfer. CGCC offers small class sizes and free assistance with writing, math, and computers. Because the class sizes are small at CGCC, students are encouraged to ask questions in class and can meet individually with instructors.
