Some four-year schools accept transfer students with 30 hours and others accept 54 hours. Should I obtain the minimum number of hours from ACC or complete the associate degree requirements?
The answer to this question depends on your situation. Please consider the following: The tuition and class sizes at ACC are generally lower. Financially, it is to your advantage to take as many transferable courses as possible at ACC. Employers often believe that students who set a goal of completing an entire program and then succeed at that goal are more organized and focused than students who have just taken the same number of hours but not as part of a plan. Graduating with the associate of science degree is a major accomplishment.
