Louisiana Transfer Associate Degrees
Louisiana Transfer Degree Guarantee
The goal of the Louisiana Transfer Associate Degree is to maximize the transfer process,
meet the needs of students who enroll at a 2-year college with the intent to work
toward a baccalaureate, and develop a universal transfer program for which the coursework
completed in pursuit of the degree will be accepted by all public universities in
the state.
The Louisiana Transfer Degree consists of 39 hours of General Education (GenEd) and
21 hours of additional coursework. Students who enter a four-year public university
with this degree will have met the institution's general education requirements and
will be granted upper division (junior) status. This guarantee applies to those who
successfully complete the degree with the required grade of "C" or better in each
course.
