Stark State has more than 30 transfer partnerships with other colleges and universities, including The Ohio State University, Kent State University and The University of Akron (our Direct Connect partnership with UA, for example, gives you dual admission at both institutions while you complete your associate degree at SSC while preparing to transfer to UA for a bachelor’s degree).

Studies show community college students who transfer to selective four-year schools perform as well as or even better than their peers who come directly from high school. In fact, transfer students from community colleges are the group most likely to graduate.*
