PNCA Transfer Agreement
Pacific Northwest College of Art
Transfer Agreement: 90 credits
Columbia Gorge Community College (CGCC) has entered into a transfer agreement with the Pacific Northwest College of Art (PNCA), facilitating transfer between the two institutions for students earning 90 credits of approved coursework at CGCC and interested in pursuing a four-year degree in the arts at PNCA.
This transfer pathway was designed for Studio Art majors. Design, Illustration, Animation, and Video/Sound majors may have additional 2nd year requirements. It is recommended that all students take courses related to expected major interest. Requirements can be waived by strength of portfolio upon review by Chair of department, though credits must still be earned.
If a student at CGCC gets the proper advising, especially in the aspect of the "Major Requirements," then they may indeed transfer in at the junior level at PNCA with 60 semester credits (90 quarter credits).
In addition, PNCA has several scholarship opportunities available for students participating in this transfer agreement.
