Tips for Transfer Success

WHERE SHOULD I TRANSFER?

There are many considerations when choosing a 4-year college or university, and the Transfer Center can help you explore all possibilities. Some questions to ask yourself are:

  • Do I want to move away? If so, how far? Or should I look for a college with an online program?
  • Does the college offer the program/degree I want?
  • Do I want a small school or a large school? Big city or smaller town?
  • Does the college offer the sport I want to play?
  • Have I taken all the required classes to transfer to a particular college?
