Transfer to a four-year college or university

Every year, many MWCC graduates transfer to four-year colleges and universities as juniors. Other students take a few courses to transfer to another institution. Every one of them saves hundreds of dollars, sometimes thousands, by making MWCC a step on their path to earning a bachelor's degree.
