What is Missouri Reverse Transfer?

Missouri Reverse Transfer allows college students who have completed credits toward an associate degree to receive that degree even if they have transferred to a four-year university. Students who are not currently attending college also may be eligible to receive an associate degree through the program. All public and many independent colleges and universities in the state are participating in the Missouri Reverse Transfer Program.

Missouri has moved forward with a statewide policy to help more Missourians earn degrees. For more detailed information on Missouri Reverse Transfer take a look at the& Missouri Department of Higher Education website.

What are the benefits?

You must have earned a minimum of 15 credit hours at a single two-year institution to be eligible for a reverse transfer degree. Students are not eligible for the program if they've earned an associate degree or higher.
