Just need a few credits instead of a whole degree? No problem! Courses are offered that meet general education and major requirements. Enroll in as many or as few courses as you’d like by selecting 'Not Seeking a Kirkwood Degree' on your application. This allows you to skip additional admission requirements.
You can pick a few courses to transfer back to another institution rather than getting your degree at Kirkwood. Take a class during the summer or winter break, or even start a class after the start of term if you need to.
Program to program transfer between institutions can save you thousands of dollars in tuition and fees, especially when you follow articulation agreements that give you a checklist of what will transfer.
Take classes at Kirkwood that are part of these agreements to make the process easier. For specific courses, consult published transfer equivalencies to see how each course transfers and counts toward your degree. For equivalency information on colleges not given, please contact an academic advisor at your home institution.
Both of these options should be done before you take the class so you’re not risking taking a class that won’t count toward your degree.
