Murray State University (MSU) and
Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) Transfer Agreement

Murray State University and Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) have entered into a transfer agreement between the Associate of Arts Degree offered by KCTCS and the Bachelor of Science in Business offered by Murray State University. Students may take KCTCS and Murray State courses at campus sit or online, thereby increasing educational opportunities for students throughout the state and region.

The Murray State University Bachelor of Science in Business program is offered online in cooperation with KCTCS and KYVU. Students who complete their Associate of Arts in Business through KCTCS can transfer these credits directly to the MSU Bachelor of Science in Business degree. Typically, students take transition courses online in addition to their Associate of Arts through KCTCS either before or while taking Murray State online business courses. These transition courses are necessary to meet the 121 hour Bachelors degree requirements at Murray State.
