It’s common for community colleges to have articulation agreements with four-year universities within their states, giving students a fairly seamless transfer. Now, some universities are reaching beyond state borders to help students earn a bachelor’s degree.
The University of Maryland–University College (UMUC) has nearly 80 alliance agreements with two-year colleges across the nation. Just under half of the university’s students have transferred from a community college, and many of them are taking advantage of UMUC’s 50 online degree programs while staying in their hometowns.
