Pathways

Pathway guides are advising tools designed to help community college students plan for transferring to NKU to complete their baccalaureate degree. Pathway guides include all of the following:

• Degree and graduation requirements from the 2-year institution
• Degree and graduation requirements from the 4-year institution
• General Education from 2-year institution
• If not general education certified through a general education agreement or student has an AAS degree, remaining general education courses from the 4-year institution
• A checklist of courses required for the degree
• Pathway agreements are typically viewed as two-plus-two types of agreements but can require greater than 120 hours to complete.

A student who completes all the courses listed on a particular pathway guide will earn an Associate degree from Cincinnati State Technical and Community College. The student is guaranteed that all the Cincinnati State Technical and Community College courses indicated in the pathway will be accepted at NKU and that the courses will count toward completion of a particular major. If a Cincinnati State Technical and Community College student transfers to another college, he or she is not guaranteed that all courses will transfer.
