All credits you earn in the Dual-Credit Program will apply to a bachelor’s degree at Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà University, but are also transferrable to other four-year institutions.

Because Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà is an institutionally accredited university through the Higher Learning Commission (HLC), it ensures credits can transfer to other colleges and universities across the nation.

The Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà University College of Education is also accredited by the HLC, the Nebraska Department of Education and the Council for Accreditation of Educator Preparation.

It’s the student's responsibility to understand how the receiving institution will accept and apply your credits. Universities may request a course syllabus for review, which can be acquired by contacting the dual-credit office. Visit our transfer page to learn more.
