Texas State is the top transfer school for most Riverbats with locations in San Marcos and Round Rock. If your goal is to get a bachelor’s degree, Bats to Cats can help you get there – seamlessly and at a lower cost than a typical four-year program.

Riverbats get personalized transfer and academic guidance from ACC and TXST when admitted to the program, so you’ll know your plan at every step of the way and can get to know TXST. Program advising also helps you avoid wasting time or money taking classes that won’t count toward your bachelor’s degree.
