60 + 60 Transfer Plan

If you are transferring from a two-year school to a four-year school, you may be entitled to additional guarantees. If you complete an Associate of Arts (A.A.) or Associate of Science (A.S.) degree, 60 credit hours of your A.A. or A.S. degree are guaranteed to transfer to a Colorado state four-year school, once you are accepted for admission. And, you should be able to finish a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree within another 60 credit hours. This is called a 60+60 Transfer Plan.
