What is the Direct Transfer Agreement (DTA) and How Does this Help Me to Transfer?

The Direct Transfer Agreement (DTA) ensures that all 90 of your Associate of Arts (AA-DTA) or Associate of Science (AS-DTA) degree credits will transfer to many four-year colleges and universities in Washington State and gives you priority consideration in the admissions process. Students with a DTA degree will be considered as satisfying most, if not all, of their lower division general education requirements for the four-year college and university. In some cases, admission is guaranteed with a minimum GPA. It is best to meet with a Seattle Central advisor to determine which degree works best for your educational goals, and what is required for each participating institution.

What is the Direct Transfer Agreement/Major Related Program (DTA/MRP)?

The Direct Transfer Agreement/Major Related Program (DTA/MRP) prepares students to enter a particular major upon transferring. Students complete 90 credits and transfer as a junior. It has the same benefits as the DTA. The cumulative grade point average (GPA) may be higher for some majors. Consult with a Seattle Central advisor and the university you plan to attend.
