I'm considering transferring to Berea College and want to know how they deal with transfer credits. Are there specific policies or limits on the number of credits they accept from other institutions?
Berea College has a set of guidelines and policies with regards to transfer credits. One of the major points is that you can transfer up to 32 course credits towards a Berea degree.
However, these potential transfer credits are subject to departmental approval and must fit into the program requirements at Berea College. You should also note that the transfer work must come from a regionally accredited college or university. A grade of C- or better is required for a course to be eligible for transfer.
In addition, there are some specific stipulations for certain types of coursework. For example, developmental or remedial coursework usually can't be transferred for credit. The same is often the case for specialized or vocational courses that don't align with Berea's liberal arts curriculum.
Nevertheless, it's always best to reach out to the Berea College Registrar's Office or the Admissions Office for the most accurate and detailed information about your individual situation. They would be able to guide you through the process and give you an accurate assessment based on your specific transcripts from your previous institution.
