2023-2024 Transfer Agreements Catalog

RSC Associate in Science - Engineering Mechanical-Aerospace Option to UCO Bachelor of Science - Mechanical Engineering

The University of Central Oklahoma (UCO), in collaboration with Rose State College (RSC), participates in articulated transfer agreements to assist students in transferring smoothly from the associate degree to the baccalaureate degree. These agreements express a shared commitment to student access and success in higher education.

This document specifies courses to be taken at RSC and courses to be taken at UCO to meet this agreement.
