Students who intend to transfer to a four-year college or university should meet with their academic advisor to select courses appropriate for their major at a specific four-year college or university. Students who are undecided about their major or whose goals cannot be readily fulfilled by one of the other curricula outlined in this catalog should follow the curriculum model beginning on this page. This suggested model provides a guideline for scheduling courses to better equip students who want to transfer and also receive an Associate in Science degree at Black Hawk College.
The first two years of a baccalaureate degree at a four-year college or university are devoted primarily to general education courses. Usually a small number of introductory courses for a specific major are taken during the first two years. Academic advisors work closely with students and the four-year colleges and universities to assure that suitable courses are scheduled.
Students may begin their transfer planning by referring to the “Planning Guides& Agreements” webpage on the Black Hawk College Website located at: www.bhc.edu/transfer Students interested in other colleges or universities should contact the transfer institution or the Black Hawk College advising office.
