Having clear pathways between Kirkwood Community College and the University of Iowa is vitally important. These guides were created to assist students interested in transferring credit into a degree program at the University of Iowa. They were developed so that students can more easily plan for the future. Every attempt is made to keep this information accurate.
Please note that these guides are subject to change, they should not replace contact with your community college or University of Iowa adviser.
Up to 16 semester hours of career-technical credit can be used as elective credit toward a degree in the Colleges of Liberal Arts & Sciences, Education, or Business. Career-technical credit, however, comes in as ungraded credit and does not count toward the 24 transferable hours needed for admission. For the Bachelors of Applied Studies (BAS), we will accept up to 60 semester hours of career-technical credit.
