We strive to make the process of transferring to a 4-year college as simple and straightforward as possible. The staff in our Transfer office can help you determine where you can complete your bachelor’s degree, how your credits will transfer to the college of your choice, put you in touch with a representative from your transfer college of choice, and answer any questions you have about the process.
Every associate degree at NTC has at least one transfer agreement available, and many of our programs have multiple transfer opportunities available. When you consider that we’ve developed over 400 transfer agreements with 50+ colleges and universities, you can see why NTC is a great, and affordable, option for you to start your college education.
There are a few important steps you will need to take as you look at transferring to your school of choice. First, take a look at the Tips for Transferring section to assist with making an informed decision about at 4-year school.
Tips for Transferring
We’ve compiled a list of questions you might want to think about prior to meeting with our Transfer Specialist. After reviewing this list, you should be well prepared to ask the right questions and receive the correct answers.
Things to Consider When Transferring
After you carefully consider the questions above, you can take a look at our agreements with four year partner schools on your own by browsing our listing of Transfer Guides. There, you can narrow down your choices and search by your major or preferred institution. Next, here are the steps to take once you have narrowed down your school of choice.
Step 1: Contact the Transfer & Career Services Office at NTC
Your first step is to contact NTC’s Transfer & Career Services office. Our staff is happy to walk you through your transfer options and talk through various schools. If you are still unsure which school is the right fit for you, the staff can help with that too! You can reach our transfer services at transfer@ntc.edu.
After speaking with our staff and deciding which college you’d like to attend, we will review your unofficial transcript in order to get an idea of which of, and how, your credits will transfer. We can even discuss with you which additional classes you might want to take during your remaining time at NTC for additional transfer credits.
You may also want to review the Universal Credit Transfer Agreement tool, which lets you view a list of courses that are transferable between NTC and every University of Wisconsin System school.

This is also your chance to talk about any additional educational options that may be available within your program, such as placing an emphasis on a certain area within your chosen field of study. You can also obtain information on scholarships, tuition, and other questions regarding their institution to ensure this is the best fit for you and your goals.
Step 3: Submit Your Application to Your Preferred School
