Tennessee Transfer Programs

Tennessee Transfer Pathways allows you to begin your college studies at a community college or similar two-year program and earn an associate degree, assuring that your credits will transfer to a bachelor’s degree program at any public university and many private universities in Tennessee.

The Tennessee Reverse Transfer Program is a process that allows transfer students who are currently attending a four-year school to combine four-year college credits with community college credits to receive an associate degree.
