How to Transfer With an Education Degree

Transfer programs were designed for students in a two-year or associate's degree program to continue their studies at a four-year college and earn a bachelor's degree. Many of the courses completed before transferring are courses that apply to the general education requirements of all degree programs. A student in an education program can transfer into an education degree program, another degree program within liberal arts or continue on to a higher degree within the education faculty.

      Talk with a teacher, adviser or a staff member in the admissions department about your ability to transfer. Many schools that offer associate degrees in education are paired with larger universities. A student wishing to transfer and complete a bachelor's degree can enter the education program at the partner university without having to make up any courses or provide details or equivalent classes to receive course credit.

      Create a list with all the courses completed, course descriptions, grades received and the hours or credits for each course. Go through the university course catalog of the school you want to transfer to and find equivalent courses. Not all courses may transfer; but you want to receive as much credit as possible for the courses completed. Transferring to an education degree program or with an education degree will allow the student to transfer to many different programs, not just education-based programs.

      Inquire with university admissions about any combined bachelor of education degree programs. Several universities offer a combined degree program where the student earns a degree in education and another field. These combined programs typically last one year longer than a single degree program, due to the increased number of credits that must be completed. Not all courses apply towards both degrees.

      Check for transfer deadlines, as it is much easier to transfer at the beginning of a semester or before the semester has started than in the middle. In fact, many universities require a transfer student to wait until the following semester. Make sure you have all paperwork submitted on time for a successful transfer.
