Colleges are rethinking degree completion policies to better serve transfer students, adult learners, and those balancing school with other responsibilities. For instance, Yavapai College in Arizona has partnered with other community colleges to allow students to complete their bachelor’s degrees locally. Generations College in Chicago is also offering bachelor’s degrees for the first time, aiming to provide more affordable and accessible pathways to a degree.

What this means for applicants

Applicants who are transfer students or adult learners should explore community colleges in their area that offer bachelor’s degree programs. These institutions are increasingly becoming destinations for students who wish to complete their degrees without transferring to a four-year institution. Additionally, prospective students should consider institutions that offer flexible and competency-based education options, as these can accommodate various learning styles and schedules. It’s important to check each institution’s official page for specific requirements and opportunities.
