Designed For Transfer Students

Students with credit from another accredited institution can easily transfer to Northern Arizona University. In fact, all of the bachelor's programs available through NAU's Extended Campuses are designed to be transfer programs. Learn more about NAU's accredited bachelor's degree programs and then connect with Academic advisors to evaluate your transfer credits and help you determine the best route to earning your degree.  

If you are attending or have credits from an Arizona community college, know that NAU partners with nearly all colleges in the state to make transferring as simple and seamless as possible.

Some NAU bachelor’s degree programs also accept up to 90 hours of transfer credits. To see how your Arizona community college courses transfer to NAU, check out AZTransfer's Course Equivalency Guide.

2NAU: A Joint-Admission Option For Arizona Community College Students 

The 2NAU joint-admission program makes your transition from an Arizona community college to NAU seamless. 2NAU allows you to be admitted to NAU while you earn your associate degree. You are eligible for 2NAU if you are currently in your first or second semester at your Arizona community college and are committed to completing your bachelor’s degree.

Gain admission to NAU while completing your associate degree and enjoy a number of benefits, including:

• Focused Advising – Receive success coaching from both NAU and your community college so that you stay on track.
• Lower Costs – Continue to pay your community college tuition rate while taking coursework at your Arizona community college. When you are ready to take courses towards your NAU bachelor’s degree, enjoy the most affordable public university tuition rate in the state.
