Transfer Pathway with the Degree Design Lab
Have an associate's degree? The Degree Design Lab's Transfer Pathway Program offers a seamless way to finish your bachelor's in just two years, no matter what you studied for your associate degree.
Degree Design Lab Transfer Pathway Program
One of the unique features of this program is the advising provided by the Degree Design Lab faculty, who will guide you from day one to help you connect what you’ve learned in your associate degree program to what you want to do in the future. We value the knowledge and skills you developed in your associate degree program, and the Transfer Pathway Program will help you continue in that field or transition to a new academic and career focus.
Flexible and Customizable
The Degree Design Lab is a career-focused program that leverages Champlain College’s strengths in professional degrees. In the Transfer Pathway Program, you will combine traditional coursework with experiential and project-based learning opportunities that connect your prior academic experience to one of our career-focused areas of study.
If you have an associate degree from an accredited institution, you can transfer into Champlain’s Degree Design Lab program and all of your previously earned 60 credits will apply toward your Champlain College bachelor’s degree. If you have earned credits beyond the 60 needed to complete your associate degree, you may be able to apply up to 15 additional credits to your Champlain degree program.
With the credits you have earned toward your associate degree, you will need only 60 additional credits — two academic years — at Champlain to complete your Bachelor of Science in Integrative Professional Studies. Degree Design Lab faculty will help you select courses from dozens of career-focused majors to anchor your studies in a way that matches your personal and professional interests.
When I transferred to Champlain, I was immediately encouraged to get involved not just in class, but through side projects that connected directly to my majors. The faculty here really care about helping you grow your skills and find your own creative path.
