I'm currently at Baruch, but thinking of switching to Brooklyn College. How do I find out which of my courses will transfer over? Is there a specific process or office to contact?
When you're thinking about transferring credits from Baruch College to Brooklyn College, the first step is typically to contact the admissions office or the registrar's office at Brooklyn College. These departments usually handle any transcript evaluations and can help guide you through the transfer process.
It is also recommended to look at Brooklyn College's official Transfer Credit Policy located on their website to understand what qualifies for transfer credit. Usually, credits are transferable for courses in which a grade of C or better was earned at an accredited institution, but specific degree requirements and major prerequisites may vary.
But keep in mind, while general education courses and electives often have straightforward equivalents, it may be more challenging for major-specific courses. In such cases, you may need approval from the specific department at Brooklyn College. Therefore, getting in touch with your intended department at Brooklyn might be beneficial.
Lastly, remember that every college has its own policy and rules for transfer. Even though Baruch and Brooklyn are both part of the CUNY system, there might be differences in rules. That said, being part of the same system often simplifies the process.
Remember, transferring is a big decision. Even as you're considering the practicalities of credit transfer, also consider whether the switch will support your educational and career goals.
