CCP Degree Pathways

Pathways support intentional CCP course selection for degree or transfer.
Pathways are groups of recommended courses, organized by field of study for college and course transfer planning.

• CCP Pathways contain 5 to 10 courses (15 to 30+ college credits) that align with one or more of these: a Degree Program at NCSC, the Ohio Transfer 36, and Ohio’s Guaranteed Transfer Pathways.
• Pathways provide guidance on course selections, and are not restrictive.
• A CCP course does not have to be on your pathway to take it, nor are CCP students required to designate a pathway.
• Students may take any CCP-eligible course, for which the pre-requisite is met, and we encourage students to explore areas of interest along with the general education core.

• The Ohio Transfer 36 (OT 36) consists of at least 36 college credits that align with Ohio’s general education requirements for Associate of Arts (AA), Associate of Science (AS), or Bachelor degrees.
• Perhaps you’re undecided on your future college major, and so you’re planning to focus on your general education courses as you get started in CCP (English, Math, Social Sciences, etc.). The OT36 is your guide to get started!
• If planning to pursue a bachelor degree or transfer credits to another Ohio public college or university, work with your advisor to build your academic course plan with the Ohio Transfer 36 guidelines.
• Link to Ohio Transfer 36 information here.
• Review the NCSC course options in the Ohio Transfer 36

What are the Ohio Guaranteed Transfer Pathways?

• Ohio Guaranteed Transfer Pathways (OGTP) – Similar in concept, the Ohio Guaranteed Transfer Pathways includes major-specific course guidance for a clear path to first earning your associate degree, followed by bachelor degree in a related major.
• Check out the OGTP planning tool here.
• By following an OGTP, you can select major-specific coursework that will apply to your desired degree.

How do I transfer credits from North Central State College? 

• Credit from North Central State can be transferred to another college or university.
• As you consider future majors of study and colleges that offer such, share this this with your CCP Advisor. This helps us support you with selecting applicable and transferable courses. As your focus narrows along your CCP journey,  so too focuses the transfer parameters and the guidance.
• The receiving institution, or the college you are transferring to, determines how transfer credits will be applied to your degree requirements.
• In your last term with NCSC, request your official NCSC transcript (with final grades) be sent to your next college. Your official NCSC transcript is needed for a transfer credit review.
