Turn DMACC Credits into a Degree

After high school, transition right into DMACC and complete your degree. It's an easy next step! ​

Take advantage of the DMACC credits you've earned in high school by completing a DMACC Associates degree.

Advantages of earning an Associates degree:

  • The degree is accepted in its entirety at four year institutions. Transferring credits by themselves allows institutions to choose to accept or deny on a class by class basis.
  • Having an Associates degree makes you marketable in the workforce, even if you choose not to complete your four-year degree.
