National University and Dallas College Expand Transfer Agreement

The collaboration targets the primary hurdles students face during the transition from community college to four-year institutions, specifically credit loss and opaque degree requirements. By aligning coursework and recognizing prior learning, the institutions aim to simplify the path for the more than 12,000 learners who transfer from Dallas College to four-year programs annually.

Beyond academic credit alignment, the partnership introduces pre-admission support and scholarship opportunities. Students gain access to National University resources while still enrolled at Dallas College, bridging the gap between their associate and bachelor’s studies. Dr. Mark D. Milliron, president and CEO of National University, emphasized that the initiative focuses on creating a transfer experience that respects the progress students have already achieved. For Dallas College, which serves over 127,000 students across seven campuses, the deal reinforces its role in driving economic mobility by connecting local learners to flexible, career-focused degree programs.
