Earn Your Associate Degree at BHC After Transferring

Reverse Transfer

Reverse transfer credit is a program designed for students who attended Black Hawk College then transferred to a university before earning an associate degree.

Black Hawk College will evaluate your university coursework to determine if credits taken at the university will fulfill the remaining requirements for your associate degree. At least 24 credits must be earned with BHC courses and a minimum 2.0 GPA also earned at Black Hawk College.

You invested a lot in your BHC courses and that deserves recognition! An associate degree is an important milestone in your education and a valuable credential to add to your résumé. Completing your associate degree is also a smart move if finishing your bachelor’s degree is delayed for any reason.

Several four-year institutions provide a link or email address to begin your request:

• Augustana College
• Chicago State University
• Columbia College Chicago
• Eastern Illinois University
• Governors State University
