If you are earning a degree through one of these programs and plan to transfer into one of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ’s Online Bachelor’s Degrees programs, you may be able to take up to three years of courses (earning your degree and taking another year’s worth of courses you plan to transfer) at your current school (at your current school’s tuition rates), and transfer to À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ for the last 1 - 1.5 years of bachelor’s study. All À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ online bachelor's degree programs are eligible for joint admissions.  If you are interested in transferring into the behavioral health degree, you should be enrolled in a social work, psychology, human services, sociology or similar program at your partner school.
