Section 1
The transfer math
Two years at a community college plus two years at a public 4-year school usually costs less than half of four years at the 4-year school — if every credit transfers. The 'if' is everything. Some schools accept everything, some accept nothing, most are in between.
How AI helps
- Reads your community college catalog and target school's requirements side-by-side.
- Flags classes that look the same but won't transfer (e.g., MATH 101 vs MATH 110).
- Builds a 2-year semester-by-semester plan you can show your advisor.
- Reminds you about transfer-specific deadlines and minimum GPAs.
Prompt
Use AI to compare two long PDFs in seconds.
I'm at [community college]. I want to transfer to [target school]
as a Biology major in 2 years. Here's the articulation agreement [paste].
Build me a 4-semester plan:
- 15 credits per semester
- All classes that transfer
- Hits prerequisites for the major
- Leaves room for one elective per semester
Flag any class on my catalog that looks like it transfers but doesn't.Key terms in this lesson
