OCC is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, so our credits are transferable to private and public institutions. It ultimately depends on the specific degree program that the student is transferring into and it’s recommended that students reach out to the college/university they are interested in to learn about how the credits they take through OCC can apply to the degree program they are pursuing.
