Germanna Community College offers a competitive and dynamic science transfer program which is designed to easily transfer the credits earned at Germanna to four-year colleges and universities. Freshman- and sophomore-level classes at Germanna cost a portion of what they would at a four-year college. And importantly, Germanna students begin their college experience in small classes that foster discussion and interaction.
