Information Systems Transfer

Program Statement

Students have the flexibility to individualize this transfer program to meet the requirements of many four-year colleges and universities.

Program Information

• Bristol offers many technical courses frequently not available at four-year institutions. 
• Transfer credit from other institutions for any Bristol Computer Information Systems (CIS or CIT) course must be approved by the CIS Department Chair or by a full-time CIS faculty member. 
• Students may be required to obtain and use specific hardware, operating systems, or applications.
• Students should consider CIS 111 as their first course unless they have previous computer experience or took computer courses in high school. CIS 111 may be a good transfer course. 

After Bristol

• Recent graduates have transferred to Bridgewater State College, Rhode Island College, Roger Williams University, Bryant University, and University of Massachusetts Dartmouth.
• Bristol participates in the statewide MassTransfer program and has developed many program-to-program transfer articulation agreements which guarantee admission and credit transfer. For a complete listing of eligible MassTransfer programs, current Bristol articulation agreements, and to complete an A2B Program Search, visit the Transfer Services website to review which credits will be transferred and applied to your degree. 

NOTE: There are 3 'Transfer Electives' (Mass Transfer electives) in this program, so a student could meet the STEM block if they selected 2 behavioral/social science electives (6 credits) from the Mass Transfer list. Please note that if you are completing this degree to benefit from MassTransfer by transferring to a UMass Campus or State University with your associate degree, you must complete all STEM block requirements using the guidance above.
