Transfer degrees

If you're thinking about starting your four-year education at CCC, you're making a smart choice! You can save thousands of dollars on your education while taking classes that can transfer to another college or university. 

More and more students are discovering the best place to begin a bachelor's degree is at a community college. Research shows that community college transfer students are equally if not more likely to graduate than other students, including at the most selective universities. Our transfer degrees can fit seamlessly with many four-year degree paths beyond Clackamas. CCC students transfer to a number of in-state and out-of-state colleges and universities, including public and private schools.

Students are highly encouraged to meet with an advisor from both their community college and their intended university to ensure efficiency and course relevance for any particular program and degree.

  3. Oregon Institute of Technology
