Tennessee Community College Transfers
Whether you are pursuing your associate degree, or are just taking some classes at your local community college, Lipscomb University can help you complete your bachelor's degree.
Tennessee Transfer Pathways
Follow a Tennessee Transfer Pathway and every community college credit on that pathway transfers to Lipscomb.
If you are pursuing an associate’s degree at a community college in Tennessee, following a Tennessee Transfer Pathway is one of the simplest ways to make sure your credits transfer. Students who graduate with a Tennessee Transfer Pathway associate’s degree that Lipscomb accepts are guaranteed that all community college credits on that pathway will transfer to Lipscomb University.
Look through the Tennessee Transfer Pathway degree plans Lipscomb accepts to see if your intended major is listed. On each degree plan, the courses in white are what you will take at your community college and the courses in purple are what you will complete at Lipscomb, assuming you graduate with the associate’s degree.
A few of the degree plans are specific to certain colleges, such as Columbia State and Nashville State. Those plans include that college’s name in the title.
Transferring without a pathway
If you aren’t following a Tennessee Transfer Pathway, Lipscomb will still accept up to 63 credits from all Tennessee community colleges. Students who graduate from a Tennessee community college with an Associate of Science or Associate of Arts automatically satisfy the Lipscomb Core general education requirements. All other credits are evaluated on a course-by-course basis.
Phi Theta Kappa
Community College transfer students who are members of Phi Theta Kappa may be eligible for direct admission to Lipscomb and the Phi Theta Kappa Scholarship.
