Start at WCC then transfer to complete your bachelor’s degree
WCC makes it easy to transfer anywhere with a 2-year associate degree or transfer 30 credits to a four-year institution through the Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA). Students who attend WCC save an average of $8,000 to $22,000 per academic year compared to four-year public and private institutions.

“Great place to start your college journey. Great faculty, financial aid and Student Welcome Centers always willing to help and satisfy your needs.” -Derek P.
WCC transfers more students to U-M than any other community college
In the past 10 years, nearly 3,800 students from WCC have enrolled at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor to pursue their educational aspirations and enhance the university’s intellectual community.
“WCC sits atop the list of schools that transfer students to U-M…. U-M’s admissions
counselors regularly praise the talent, commitment and preparation of WCC’s students.”
WCC helps make college affordable
People 24- to 32 are putting off major life milestones – like buying a house or starting a family – because of student debt.
So, what can you do? One solution many students overlook is starting at a community college.
“WCC is a great place. Great technology, great people, highly knowledgeable professors who have working knowledge of the field they are teaching. Overall, I highly recommend WCC.” -Josie A.
Benefits of attending a community college
At WCC, the in-district tuition rate is only $95 per credit hour – a fraction of what students typically pay at a four-year school.
Another advantage is increased scheduling flexibility and smaller class sizes. WCC has convenient day, evening and even weekend classes as well as online classes that let students study when and where they want. Our smaller class sizes also provide students with more one-one-one interaction with instructors.
“Awesome school! Teachers are amazing! Will help me tremendously when I transfer to the University of Oklahoma in the Fall for meteorology!" -Nick L.
Community college transfers outperform high school students at top colleges
Here are the facts:
- The six-year graduation rate (a standard metric for four-year U.S. colleges) for students who transferred from community colleges to “most competitive” or “highly competitive” institutions in Fall 2010 is 75%.
- The rate for students who enrolled directly out of high school is 73%.
- For students who transferred from one four-year college to another, it’s 61%.
The bottom line? Transfer students from community colleges are the group most likely to actually graduate.
