Experiences at Calumet College of St. Joseph?

I've heard about Calumet College of St. Joseph but don't know much about it. Can anyone share their experiences or thoughts on the academic programs and campus environment there? Is it a good choice for a potential transfer student?

If you are considering transferring to Calumet College of St. Joseph (CCSJ), there are several factors you may want to take into account.

First, CCSJ offers a diverse portfolio of academic programs, ranging from Arts and Sciences to Business and Technology, to Criminal Justice, so your program of interest could potentially have a direct impact on your experience. Each program has its own distinct set of professors, course structures, and opportunities. Some students praise their professors for being helpful and invested in their success.

The campus environment is relatively small, with a student population under 1,000. This means that you might have smaller class sizes and more personal attention from your professors, which can be beneficial for your academic success. It also typically allows for a close-knit community. However, it might lack some of the resources or opportunities available at much larger universities.

As for being a transfer student, it's important to coach with the admissions office about credit transferability especially if you're transferring from a two-year college. The credits you've earned may not necessarily overlap 1:1 with the credits required for your intended program of study at CCSJ, and that will influence how long you'll need to study at CCSJ to earn your degree. The school does have a Transfer Evaluation System, an online tool that helps you see how previously taken courses may transfer.

Lastly, I would recommend visiting the campus if you haven't done so already. There's only so much you can learn from second-hand accounts, and visiting will give you a firsthand experience of the campus culture and environment.

While these factors provide you an overview, your personal goals, preferences, and ambitions would ultimately determine whether CCSJ is a good fit for you.
