What is a Transfer Degree?

Student at OCCC Smiling

Each year, many Lincoln County students aiming to pursue four-year degrees at Oregon universities begin their studies at Oregon Coast Community College. Doing so allows them to:

  • Save thousands of dollars in tuition
  • Live here in Lincoln County where they already reside, avoiding costly additional room and board for two years
  • Keep their current jobs and continue living with and supporting their families
  • Discover the rigor and routines of collegiate study in a friendly, supportive environment
  • Help determine which subjects and majors are of the most interest to them before transferring to a university


Completing their first two years at OCCC generally allows them to enter as juniors when they arrive at the university of their choosing. All along the way, these students have ready access to OCCC’s own talented Student Success Coaches for academic advising, and can also keep in touch with advisors at their university, to ensure they stay on track.
