They transfer to both traditional and non- traditional adult oriented programs depending on their needs and priorities in life. Advising, Career & Transfer Services at Columbia- Greene has developed partnerships with many colleges and has established a long tradition of helping students customize their academic programs to maximize their transfer potential.
