I'm thinking about transferring to Mount Saint Mary College and I'm curious about how many of my current credits might transfer. Does anyone have experience with how this process works?
The process of transferring credits to Mount Saint Mary College works on a case-by-case basis, and the final decision resides with the appropriate department chair. However, in general, to transfer credits, your courses must meet a few conditions:
1. The course was taken at a regionally accredited institution.
2. The grade you received in the course is a "C" or higher.
3. The course is equivalent at Mount Saint Mary College in terms of content and quality.
The transferable credits may either apply toward your overall degree credits (general electives) or may be equivalent to a certain course requirement at Mount Saint Mary.
You'll also need to submit a transcript from your previous institution to the Office of Admissions when you apply. Once they have your transcript, they can start the evaluation process to determine how many of your credits will transfer.
For a more precise prediction of how many of your previous college credits could be transferred to Mount Saint Mary, you could reach out to the department of your major at the college. They could provide you with a preliminary estimate. Do note that this is just an estimate and the formal credit transfer will happen only after admission.
I suggest directly getting in touch with the transfer admission counselors at Mount Saint Mary for any further queries. They would be able to guide you through this process smoothly.
