Academic Transfer

The associate of arts and associate of science degrees are transferable to most Colorado public and private 4-year baccalaureate degree-granting institutions. Colorado’s agreement between public colleges and universities guarantees that any student who graduates from CCA with an A.A. or A.S. completing 60 credit hours and earning a grade of "C" or better, may transfer to a public baccalaureate program with a liberal arts and sciences major.

Statewide Designated Degree Programs

Start here. Finish there. Students who earn an associate degree at CCA in a designated degree program and who meet admission requirements can transfer to a public Colorado college or university as a junior in that designated field of study.

Guaranteed Course Transfer

Colorado has developed a statewide guaranteed transfer program called “gtPATHWAYS.” This program ensures that certain courses at the college are guaranteed to transfer to any public college or university in Colorado as long as the courses are less than 10 years according to the Colorado Department of Higher Education. Students should contact an advisor at the earliest opportunity to review appropriate transfer guides.
