For most programs, a bachelor’s degree in the United States takes four years of study. Delaware County Community College provides the first two years (an associate degree). With planning, students can transfer to a college or university for years three (junior year) and four (senior year).

In the United States, this system is known as the 2+2 system. For students who need English language training, the system is known as ESL+2+2. Students who wish to transfer should meet with a transfer advisor in the Career and Counseling Center (1325 Academic Building, Marple campus).
