Millikin University + Richland Community College Transfer Partnership

Millikin University and Richland Community College are partnering to provide a seamless transfer process for students. Richland students who wish to earn a Millikin degree will be provided with a plan of study, as well as automatic acceptance into a Millikin baccalaureate degree program upon successful completion of an Associate in Arts (AA), Associate in Science (AS), Associate in Fine Arts (AFA) or Associate in Engineering Science (AES) with a 2.0 cumulative GPA. Students will still have to meet specific core requirements and criteria to enter certain programs.

Along with this, Richland graduates that have successfully completed the requirements of the Honors Opportunities Program will be automatically accepted into Millikin’s James Millikin Honors Scholars program.

Here are the programs that fall under General Programs and Programs with Specific Requirements.

Transfer Credits

The transfer process can be a challenge to navigate, especially for students transitioning from a two-year program to a four-year program. Millikin University has created resources to offer guidance for a successful transition to Millikin University. Students who want to enter Millikin University from Richland Community College should use these resources to choose courses that will automatically transfer, pending successful completion with a C- or higher, or otherwise noted grade. A maximum of 66 semester hours can be accepted.

If you took, or plan to take coursework at Richland Community College, use these equivalency guides to determine how those courses transfer to Millikin University.  The course equivalency guide lists the courses offered at Richland Community College and how each of those corresponds to courses offered at Millikin University.  Evaluation for transfer courses not on these lists will be completed at the time of receipt of official transcripts.  These guides should be used in conjunction with academic advising and are not a replacement for meeting with your academic advisor to discuss personalized course planning.
