Transfer course options at Berklee College of Music

I'm thinking about transferring to Berklee College of Music and I'm curious about which courses from my current college might transfer over. Does anyone know how I can find this information or has gone through the process?

Hello! Transferring credits between schools often requires some research and groundwork. Course equivalencies can sometimes be tricky because it depends on the specificity of the course content and the match with Berklee's requirements. Unfortunately, Berklee, like many colleges, doesn't provide a definitive list of what will transfer from other schools because courses and syllabi change over time.

To get a clearer picture of what might transfer, you should look into the specific degree requirements for your intended major at Berklee. This way, you can get a sense of what classes you need to become proficient in your chosen field of study, and thus, which of your courses might fit these requirements.

Your best bet is to send a request to the Berklee Admissions Office asking for an initial credit evaluation or to ask about the process they follow for determining transfer credits. You should be prepared to provide detailed syllabi for all the classes you believe might transfer over, as this will greatly aid in the evaluation process.

Remember, it's important to keep in mind that each institution has a maximum limit of transferable credits. According to Berklee, you can transfer up to a maximum of 60 credits from another accredited institution. This means it's likely that not all of your credits will transfer, even if the course content is similar.

The final verification of transfer credits will only occur once your official transcripts are reviewed by Berklee. Once they complete that review, they will provide you with an official notice of which credits are being transferred. Good luck with your transfer process!
