Does anyone know what the maximum number of transfer credits Baruch College accepts? I'm hoping to transfer as many credits as possible from my current university. Would love to hear from someone who has been through this!
Baruch College, a constituent college of the City University of New York (CUNY), generally accepts up to 68 credits from two-year colleges and up to 96 credits from four-year colleges or universities. These limits include all AP, IB, or other exam credit as well as courses taken while in high school.
However, please remember that not all credits may be applicable to your chosen degree or satisfy general elective requirements of the college. To make sure your credits will be transferred, it's important to see how your credits line up with Baruch's educational requirements. You can accomplish this by discussing it with an advisor, who can help you navigate credit equivalencies.
Also, be aware that while Baruch might accept up to 96 credits, you will still need to meet all the course requirements for your chosen major. Therefore, the more similar your previous coursework is to the requirements at Baruch, the more likely you will be able to maximize your transfer credits.
