Ohio Consortium for Transfer Pathways to the Liberal Arts

Sinclair Community College is a member of the Ohio Consortium for Transfer Pathways to the Liberal Arts, a group of 25 two-year and four-year colleges working together to provide clear, consistent transfer pathways in biology, English and psychology for community college students transferring from Sinclair to 14 private colleges in Ohio, all of which have approved transfer pathways that align with the Ohio Guaranteed Transfer Pathways (OGTPs). This assures that the pathway you complete as part of your associate degree will provide a clear path with maximum transferrable credit to private colleges and universities across Ohio. You will be able to transfer as a college junior, on track to graduate with your bachelor’s degree!

Step 1: Earn your associate degree with the biology transfer pathway

Community college students who follow the OGTP in biology and complete an AA or AS degree can transfer seamlessly to any of the following private four-year colleges and universities in Ohio. These four-year colleges have approved the transfer pathway in biology so that you will transfer with maximum credit from your associate degree. You will be on track to complete your bachelor’s degree in biology in as little as four semesters.

Here are the benefits for you:

  • Clarity in the courses you take at (your college name), and assurance that your courses will transfer smoothly toward the bachelor’s degree in biology.
  • Introductory major courses and most, if not all, general education courses at the four-year private college will be completed from courses taken in your associate degree.
  • Transfer as a college junior with maximum credit counting toward the bachelor’s degree.
  • Finish your bachelor’s degree in as little as two years, enrolled as a full-time student.
  • Transfer advisors at (your college name) and the four-year private colleges are working together for your success to guide you every step of the way. Check with a transfer advisor at the college where you plan to transfer, to learn about the application and admission process as well as scholarships and financial aid.
