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.
Benefits of Reverse Transfer
- Earn your associate degree while pursuing a bachelor’s degree
- Strengthen your resume and qualify for more jobs
- Increase potential for career advancement and higher wages
- Meet general education requirements at your four-year institution
Who is Eligible?
You may qualify if:
- You have completed at least 15 credit hours at Ozarks Tech
- You do not already hold an associate degree or higher
- You are attending a four-year institution in Missouri
How It Works
- Opt in by completing the Reverse Transfer Request Form.
- Your current four-year institution will send your transcript to Ozarks Tech.
- Ozarks Tech will review your credits to determine if you meet associate degree or certificate requirements.
If eligible, you will be awarded your degree.
