Classes Designed to Transfer
Our Arts and Sciences degree program is designed to give you all the classes needed to transfer successfully to the college of your choice. RCC has partnerships with over 30 four-year schools in Virginia, guaranteeing that if you maintain the proper grades, you will be accepted. Get with one of our counselors early on — they will help you chart your classes and your transfer path.
In many ways, our Arts and Science transfer degree is the very smartest way to go. You can knock out all of the core classes at RCC, and transfer them all to your destination school — all the while saving a bunch of money in tuition and fees.
Prepped for the Next Level
The Arts and Sciences program here at Rappahannock Community College will get you ready academically for the four-year school you’ll attend next. If you are shaky in some areas — especially Math and English — we have classes here specifically designed to ensure that you’ll be able to compete at a high standard here at RCC and at your next destination.

Online and In Person
