How does transfer credit equivalency work at Brooklyn College?

I'm trying to figure out how Brooklyn College assesses transfer credit equivalency. Do they have a chart or tool that shows how credits from other schools match up with their courses?

Brooklyn College, like many institutions, assesses transfer credits on a course-by-course basis. They don't have a centralized tool or chart that lists transfer credit equivalencies for all institutions, but they do provide a general framework for understanding how they assess transfer credits.

Credits for comparable coursework completed at accredited colleges or universities are generally accepted by Brooklyn College. On receiving your official transcript, an academic evaluation is conducted to determine which credits align with the Brooklyn College curriculum and fulfill degree requirements.

For example, a general biology course taken at another accredited institution would likely be deemed equivalent to a general biology course at Brooklyn College and thus be transferable. On the other hand, a course that doesn't have a comparable equivalent at Brooklyn College may be counted as an elective credit.

Additionally, Brooklyn College has a Transfer Evaluation Office that handles questions related to transfer credits. If you have questions about specific courses or institutions, it would be prudent to get in touch with them directly for the most accurate information. Lastly, bear in mind that grades acquired at other institutions will not affect your GPA at Brooklyn College, even if the credits themselves transfer.
