Students may be interested in transferring credits when they want to begin their college career at a low-cost, attainable university but “move up” to a more prestigious one later. For example, it’s typical for students to begin with an associate’s degree in one location and then transfer to a four-year college where they can put those credits toward a bachelor’s degree.
