* The specific community college: Each community college has its own policies regarding accepting transfer credits, and these policies vary widely. Some may accept more vocational credits than others.
* The specific courses taken at Concorde: Courses focused on very specific vocational skills might not have equivalent courses at a community college. More general education courses are more likely to transfer.
* The accreditation of Concorde: While Concorde Career College is accredited, the type of accreditation and the community college's acceptance of that accreditation plays a role.
* The community college's articulation agreements: Some community colleges have formal agreements with specific vocational schools, making transfer smoother. However, Concorde may not have such agreements with all community colleges.
Before enrolling at Concorde, you should contact the community college(s) you're interested in transferring to and:
* Request a transfer credit evaluation: Many colleges allow you to submit a transcript *before* attending Concorde to see which credits, if any, would transfer.
* Review their transfer policy: This policy will detail their acceptance of credits from vocational schools.
In short, while *some* credits might transfer, you can't assume any will. Proactive communication with the community college is essential.
