No matter what your focus area, faculty and advisors work with you to create a transfer plan to the school of your choice.

Areas of Focus

BHC students transfer into psychology, sociology or education majors to complete a bachelor’s degree or some education programs enter the workforce after their time at Black Hawk College.

Sample Transfer Plans

Where do you want to transfer?

If you already have a transfer school in mind, your advisor will customize a transfer plan for that college or university. BHC also has many transfer guides and agreements already established with four-year institutions in a variety of majors.

“The professors do a wonderful job teaching you material and want the best for you. It is very affordable and you would be taking some of the same classes at a four-year college that Black Hawk College offers at a lower cost.”
