MHCC is a great starting place for students who want to pursue a bachelor’s degree! Students can complete all or most of their lower division (first and second year) courses before transferring. Requirements vary at each college, so it is vital to plan ahead. Students should work with their adviser, and their preferred transfer college, to pick the right classes.

Transfer / Articulation Agreements

MHCC has over 100 transfer agreements with four-year colleges. Many of these help students complete a degree at MHCC, then transfer with junior standing. New agreements are signed on a regular basis.

University Partnerships / Co-Enrollment

Students may be enrolled in a university and MHCC at the same time to complete both associate and bachelor’s degree requirements. This option is great for students who want to major in something that MHCC doesn't yet offer, or who need to take upper division courses in their second year.

MHCC’s current co-enrollment partners are:

• Eastern Oregon University (EOU)
• Oregon Tech (OIT)
• Oregon State University (OSU)
• Portland State University (PSU)
• Warner Pacific University (WP)
• Western Oregon University (WOU)

Other Transfer Resources

Classes that help you plan ahead

TRIO-SSS

TRIO Student Support Services (TRIO-SSS) provides academic, career, personal, and transfer advising, financial aid, scholarship information, guidance, tutoring, and 4-year college and university visits to eligible MHCC students whose goals are to earn a certificate or associate’s degree from MHCC and then transfer to a 4-year college or university in pursuit of a bachelor’s degree.

Faculty Advisers

Faculty advisers provide expertise to students majoring in their fields. Advisers for each major are listed on their respective program page(s) in the annual Catalog.

Academic Advising and Transfer Center

Students with General Studies as their major can meet with an academic adviser to create an education plan or learn more about transfer options. Regular visits to the Academic Advising and Transfer Center by transfer college representatives also enable MHCC students to make personal inquiries related to their transfer plans.

Transfer Days

Each winter term, representatives from colleges and universities visit MHCC for Transfer Days. This event gives students the opportunity to investigate several colleges at one time.

Reverse Transfer

You may have earned an Associate degree and not even know it! The "Reverse Transfer" program is helping students earn associate degrees after they have transferred to a four-year school and accumulated the credits needed to fulfill the two-year degree program requirements.

Second Language requirements

Some majors require students to take a second language. If you didn't take a second language in high school, you may need to take one before you can transfer to a university. If you plan to earn a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree at an Oregon public university, you'll need two years of college-level language (through the 203 level). Languages offered through the 203 level at MHCC include:

• American Sign Language (ASL)
• Japanese
• Spanish
