NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - The Tennessee Board of Regents and the University of Tennessee are making it easier for students to transfer their credits from two-year schools to four-year institutions.
The TBR and UT announced on Monday 50 guaranteed transfer paths, effective for this fall semester.
Every student entering a community college in Tennessee can now select one of 50 majors with accompanying transfer paths, complete required courses, earn an associate's degree and transfer as a junior at a Tennessee public university.
All earned credit hours will apply toward a bachelor's degree in the same discipline.
The policy falls under the Complete College Tennessee Act of 2010, which outlined the model.
