Which BYU general education courses transfer to most colleges?

I'm currently at BYU, but considering transferring to another school. Anyone know which of our general ed courses are most likely to transfer over? I'd like to make sure as many of my credits as possible aren't wasted.

The exact policies on transferred credits can vary significantly by institution, but there are some general guidelines that might help you understand what classes are most likely to transfer.

Many colleges and universities will accept credits for foundation or basic-level courses, especially those in core disciplines such as mathematics, English, natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities. At BYU, these are the Physical and Biological Science Foundations, American Heritage, Economics, Biology, Mathematics, World History, and Physical Education courses, to name a few.

Courses that are more focused or specialized might not transfer as easily, especially if the new institution doesn't offer an equivalent course. If your intended institution doesn't have a similar program or course, it's less likely that credit will be granted.

Keep in mind that the rigor and level of the course will also factor into a school’s decision on whether to accept the credit. For example, if the course you took at BYU was a 300-level course but the equivalent course at the other institution is a 400-level, the credit may not be accepted.

The best course of action is to consult with the registrar or admissions office at the school you're considering transferring to. They should be able to provide you with a more detailed and specific evaluation of which of your BYU courses could transfer.

Also, remember to have your official transcript handy, because you’ll need this for the credit evaluation process. Just keep in mind that this evaluation can take some time, so stay patient and persistent. Good luck with the process!
