You can earn your associate degree from Ozarks Tech even after transferring to a four-year college or university in Missouri.

Missouri Reverse Transfer (MRT) allows students who have transferred to a four-year institution in Missouri—or who have paused their education—to apply previously earned credits toward completing an associate degree, certificate, or the statewide Core 42 general education block at Ozarks Tech.

This statewide policy helps more Missourians complete degrees and advance their careers.
