UMass Boston has worked closely with its community college feeders to develop and implement a transfer-friendly degree program. The BSIT at UMass Boston was built on top of the associate's degree in a way that allows higher levels of transferability. Participants will explore common transfer issues and enablers and be exposed to tools that were used at UMass Boston to assist in making this happen. This session will assist participants in working through these processes in such a way that will allow them to connect better across levels.
