As soon as you have completed your application to Eastern Iowa Community Colleges, you can apply to participate in the University of Iowa/EICC 2 + 2 Guaranteed Graduation Plan. Through this Plan, students first earn their Associate's Degree at Eastern Iowa Community Colleges and then their Bachelor's Degree after two more years at the University of Iowa. Students participate in the program by completing an application on the University of Iowa website. Click on a 2 + 2 major of interest listed at right to identify the recommended courses to complete as you earn your Associate of Arts degree.

How does an AA degree from Eastern Iowa Community Colleges transfer to the University of Iowa?


An Associate in Arts degree will fulfill all of the General Education Program requirements in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the College of Education, Tippie College of Business, and University College at the University of Iowa with the exception of the respective World Language requirement for each UI college and the Diversity and Inclusion requirement for the College of Liberal Arts and Science. The World Language requirement can be met through high school and/or college coursework in a foreign language. Contact Academic Advising at your community college for more information about this.

How does an AS degree from Eastern Iowa Community Colleges transfer to the University of Iowa?


The Associate in Science Degree may be a better choice when a student is pursuing a bachelor's degree that requires more math and science courses. The AS degree transfers on a course-by-course basis. This means that the University of Iowa will consider each course individually to identify the general education requirements that have been satisfied. Students pursuing an AS degree therefore need to know exactly how each course will transfer, and how each course will fulfill the general education requirements of their intended major at the University of Iowa. Academic Advising at your community college can assist you with this.
