Here are some common questions transfer students need to ask before making the move to another college.
How Do I Know Whether to Transfer Colleges?
There are plenty of reasons to transfer if you realize a college simply doesn't meet your academic or social needs. For some, it could be because they desire a different geographic location, such as an urban rather than rural campus, or because others would like to continue their education after first attending a community college.
Transferring may be a good option if your current college doesn't satisfy your career goals, or meet the credentials an industry-specific employer would require. For instance, if you want to become a heart surgeon there are specific schools renowned for their heart surgeon programs. Many colleges are known for specific niches, and if once you narrow your career goal, it’s important to be in the right school!
What Are the First Steps I Should Take to Transfer?
Research your potential transfer school and start making a list with important information, such as when students can actually transfer. Some schools may require students to being in the fall. Others may require a certain number of credits. Be sure to investigate the application requirements, and prepare your transcripts.
Will I still graduate in four years if I transfer?
Graduation time depends on a few factors such as credits. Will your credits transfer, or will you be required to take certain classes to fulfill the prerequisite and credit requirement? Another factor to consider is if you plan to change your major as certain programs may have even more specific requests.
