Start on a Pathway to a Degree or Certificate

Acceptance into a microcredential does not guarantee acceptance into a degree or certificate program. However, credits you earn toward a microcredential may apply to a Nassau Community College associate’s degree or certificate program. If you are planning to pursue a degree or certificate, we encourage you to reach out to your academic program of interest first to learn about those requirements.

If you are interested in transferring credit toward a bachelor’s degree program within the State University of New York system, we encourage you to contact the NCC Career and Transfer Counseling Center in Nassau Hall (Room 19) or call 516.572.7696.
