CCP Degree Pathways

What are Pathways?
- Pathways are groups of recommended courses, organized by field of study and for college transfer planning. Pathways help you plan your CCP courses for transfer and to meet your goals.
- CCP Pathways contains 5 to 10+ courses (15 to 30+ college credits) that align with one or more of the following: 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.
What is the Ohio Transfer 36?
- The Ohio Transfer 36 (OT 36) consists of 36 college credits, in alignment with Ohio’s general education requirements for Associate of Arts (AA), Associate of Science (AS), or Bachelor degrees.
- Perhaps you are undecided on your future college major, and so your plan for CCP is to focus on the core education courses (English, Math, Social Sciences, etc.). The OT36 is your guide to get started!
- If planning to pursue a bachelor degree and/or transfer credits from one Ohio public college/university to another, work with your advisor to plan courses in reference to the Ohio Transfer 36.
What are the Ohio Guaranteed Transfer Pathways?
- Ohio Guaranteed Transfer Pathways (OGTP) – Similar in concept to the OT36, Ohio Guarangeed Transfer Pathways also includes major-specific 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 ensure that you are taking coursework that will not only transfer, but 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.
- If you have identified your future college or major, share this with your CCP Advisor so they can help you select applicable and transferable CCP courses. How transfer credit is applied is up to the receiving college, so the more you know about where you’re going, the better we can assist!
- Request your official NCSC transcript be sent to the next college you plan to attend. This is necessary for that college to determine your transfer credit awards.
