Higher education institutions in the USA are called universities, institutes and colleges. American student has to gain credits in order to get higher education.
Associate degree is the first level of higher education in US system. One can achieve the level in case gets 60 credits and continue education on BA degree programs. Another 60 credits mean successful completion of the educational program which usually lasts 2 years. Such kind of program combination is called University Transfer 2+2 and is very popular among students because it’s an ideal option to transfer from one institution to another one and to save finances significantly. One more advantage of University Transfer 2+2 is the possibility to have 1 year work practice in the chosen sphere with Associate degree certificate and another 1 year with BA diploma under the program OPT.
University Transfer 2+2 is offered by our partner colleges in partnership with popular American Universities.
University Transfer 2+2 in a partner college is 2 years education for Associate degree and 2 more years in a partner university (the list is below) for BA degree. The program allows college graduates to get guaranteed admission to a partner university for a Bachelor’s degree program, subject to completion of an Associate Degree. But University Transfer 2+2 program graduates are not limited to enter any other university in the United States after an Associate degree but on general terms.
One of the main requirements for applicants to the University Transfer 2+2 is to have a certificate of full secondary education, as well as an IELTS 5.0 certificate confirming the level of English.
In the absence of a certificate of full secondary education, partner colleges have developed an alternative, but more intensive High School program. The purpose of the program is to obtain an American certificate of full secondary education at the same time as obtaining the first stage of higher education Associate Degree in just 2 years of study. After that, continue studying at the partner university for a Bachelor’s degree in the chosen field.
