The Nebraska Transfer Initiative is a cooperative effort by Nebraska's public and private higher education institutions to facilitate the transfer of students who have earned an Associate of Arts degree into baccalaureate-level programs. The core of this initiative is a common general education cluster of courses. The remainder of credit hours required for the Associate of Arts degree should be selected by the student in consultation with a transfer advisor and the institution to which they are transferring.

This initiative provides a smooth transition with a minimum loss of time and credit when it is accepted by the baccalaureate-granting institution in Nebraska.

Effectively, through this initiative, associate and baccalaureate-granting institutions are equal partners in providing the first two years of a baccalaureate degree.

Essentially, any student who has successfully completed the courses identified in the articulated Associate of Arts general education core curriculum with an equivalent of a "C" (2.0 on a 4.0 scale) or higher and is admitted in transfer to a participating institution will be:

1. Granted standing comparable to current students who have completed the same number of equivalent credit courses toward and associate/baccalaureate-level degree; and
2. Able to progress toward an associate/baccalaureate degree completion at a rate comparable to that of students who entered the associate/baccalaureate institution as first-time freshmen.
