Austin Community College, Concordia University announce student transfer program
AUSTIN (KXAN) — Austin Community College and Concordia University are launching a new transfer program, allowing ACC students to easily transfer to a bachelor's degree at Concordia.
The 'Rise at ACC, Shine at CTX' program offers students a 'clear transfer pathway,' along with financial assistance and personalized academic support.
'This partnership represents exactly what we want for our students—clear, accessible pathways to their future,' ACC Chancellor Dr. Russell Lowery-Hart said. 'Too often, transfer students face unnecessary hurdles that cost them time, money, and momentum. 'Rise at ACC, Shine at CTX' breaks down those barriers, creating a seamless transition that supports students every step of the way. This kind of collaboration doesn't just change academic journeys—it transforms lives.'
Austin Community College expands, puts emphasis on training skilled workers
Students will be able to transfer into several Concordia degree programs with preestablished pathways:
Bachelor of Applied Arts & Sciences
Bachelor of Arts in communication
Bachelor of Arts in psychology
Bachelor of Arts in sociology
Bachelor of Business Administration in accounting
Bachelor of Business Administration in marketing
Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts in computer science
ACC students of any major can transfer up to 90 credits toward a four-year degree at Concordia, even if their program is not one of the preestablished pathways. The initiative will expand with new pathways in the future.
'Our goal is to provide students with the resources and support they need to succeed, from the very moment they begin their academic journey at ACC,' Dr. Kristi Kirk, president and CEO of Concordia University Texas said. 'We are committed to making this process as seamless and accessible as possible.'
The transfer program is already available for eligible students.
