When it comes to which colleges are popular transfer destinations, students vote with their
transcripts.

OCC has more transfer students than any other institution of higher education in the state. Based on the number of transcript requests, here is a look at some of the most recently popular transfer destinations for Oakland Community College students.

Transfer Students Take Note

OCC graduates are normally limited to 62 credits (the total required for most associate degrees) when transferring to four-year colleges or universities.

Some schools, such as Saginaw Valley State University (SVSU), are willing to permit the transfer of additional credits into certain programs. By terms of an articulation agreement between OCC and SVSU, OCC students who want to become elementary teachers can apply up to 70 credits towards a bachelor's degree in elementary education. Here's how the agreement works.

Students transferring from OCC to SVSU are automatically allowed to transfer with 62 credits. Once accepted to SVSU's College of Education, they may transfer up to eight more. The total number of credits required for a BA in elementary education from SVSU is 140 credits. Other four-year schools have similar arrangements with OCC – check with an OCC academic advisor for further information.
