MassTransfer Requirements

Courses That Meet MassTransfer Requirements

Students planning to transfer to one of the state-supported universities or colleges in Massachusetts are eligible for MassTransfer. See MassTransfer for more information.

MassTransfer provides community college graduates who complete designated associate degrees with the benefits of the full transfer and applicability of credit, guaranteed admission (2.500 GPA or higher) and a tuition discount (3.000 GPA or higher).

MassTransfer also provides students in the Massachusetts public higher education system the intermediate goal of completing a portable Gen Ed Foundation which will satisfy the general education/distribution/core requirements across institutions.

Listed on this page are all of the courses that meet MassTransfer requirements. In addition, there is a listing of courses that meet BCC’s Literature requirement (see below).
