"We have found transfer fairs to be very successful in the past," said Katie Ballard, OCTC's Career and Transfer Coordinator. " it's a great way for our students to learn as much as possible about their transfer options from our many four-year partners."
The colleges universities slated to participate in the OCTC Transfer Fair on Tuesday, September 28 include: Bellarmine University, Campbellsville University, Indiana Wesleyan University, Midway College, Murray State University, Northern Kentucky University, University of Louisville-Main Campus, University of Louisville-ONLINE, University of Kentucky, University of Southern Indiana, WKU-Bowling Green, WKU-Owensboro

Statistics show community college transfer students do as well or better than students who started their education at a university. Further, OCTC students can save as much as $32,000 by taking their first two years at a community college. Credits transfer easily and there are many scholarship opportunities available, including 2+2 programs offered by some universities.
