STARS Program

Students seeking to continue onto higher education after achieving an Associates degree from Bevill State, should become familiar with STARS, which provides very specific information about the requirements in each subject area for a given transfer institution.

What is STARS?

The STARS web site provides students with the ability to print a transfer guide for his/her major and enter into a binding contract with the transfer institution in his/her program of study. The contract is not binding on the student, but is binding on the transfer institution, provided that the student does not change majors and takes the courses listed on the transfer guides.
