Everest University is the perfect place to complete the first two years of a baccalaureate degree close to home and at a low cost. Students may then transfer their Master of Arts or Master of Science degree to their college of choice. Everest University is working to establish partnerships with other colleges and universities to facilitate the seamless transfer of our associate degree graduates. These partnerships result in transfer agreements, which, in some cases, guarantee services and admission of our graduates at the transfer institution. The following articulation agreements have been established by Everest University:
