I'm looking to transfer to Bridgewater State College and I'm curious about how they evaluate transfer credits. Does anyone know how they determine which credits will transfer successfully?
In general, Bridgewater State University accepts transfer credits from nationally recognized, regionally accredited institutions of higher education. They use a course-by-course evaluation process to check the comparability of the nature, content, and level of the transfer credits and to ensure they are appropriate and applicable to the programs offered at Bridgewater State.
Transfer credits can come from a variety of areas such as completed course work at another institution, evaluated military training, Advanced Placement (AP) scores, International Baccalaureate (IB) scores, CLEP examinations, and more.
The specific eligibility of transfer credits often depends on the individual courses and whether those courses are similar to the ones offered at Bridgewater State. In general, if a class corresponds to a course in Bridgewater State's curriculum and you have earned a grade of C- or higher, then the credits for that class should, in most cases, be eligible for transfer.
However, it is important also to note that not all credits may apply toward your chosen major, and certain departments might have stipulations about accepting transfer credits for required courses within major fields of study.
In order to get an accurate view of which credits will transfer successfully, it is highly recommended to reach out directly to Bridgewater State's Transfer Services or the Registrar’s Office. They should be able to provide comprehensive information specific to your situation.
