TRANSFER TRACKSHinds Community College offers course work to complete the first two years of most baccalaureate programs

of study. Listed below are just some of the baccalaureate programs which an academic student may pursue atHinds. Students who plan to enter Mississippi public universities or four-year colleges should be aware of thetransfer requirements that may apply in individual cases. These requirements vary with ACT scores, high schoolpreparation, and high school GPA.An academic student may earn an Associate in Arts Degree (AA) in either of two ways: (1) complete an

academic program of study listed in this catalog -OR- (2) complete the first two years of any baccalaureateprogram of study found in any four-year college or university catalog which has become effective since thestudent began his/her college studies. Although one may pursue an AA degree in a specific area, the diplomaissued by Hinds Community College will read “Associate in Arts Degree” with no reference to a major.Generally one-half of the hours required for a bachelor's degree may be transferred from a community college

and applied to that degree at a four-year institution. Hinds Community College maintains a close workingrelationship with all Mississippi senior institutions to insure that all academic courses which are intended totransfer will do so. Individual articulation agreements are maintained with selected colleges as well as a formaloverall Articulation Agreement between the Mississippi Board of Trustees of State Institutions of HigherLearning and the Mississippi State Board for Community and Junior Colleges, outlining over 160 articulatedprograms of study. Articulation agreements may be found at the following links:
