Can you transfer community college courses like Stat4xx to UMD?

I'm taking classes at a community college, including Stat4xx, and hoping to transfer to the University of Maryland. Does UMD accept transfer credits for courses like this, or are there specific requirements?

Absolutely, transfer students can in many cases have their previous credits applied towards their degree at the University of Maryland (UMD). The specific acceptability of your course, Stat4xx, would be subjected to an evaluation process by UMD.

Typically, UMD assesses courses on a case-by-case basis to determine if they're equivalent to courses offered at UMD. Generally, they accept academic, college-level courses beyond the developmental level completed with a grade of C- or better. However, pre-professional or vocational courses may not transfer. You can take a look at UMD's Transfer Credit Services website which provides more detailed information on how transfer credits are evaluated.

To have a more definitive idea of how your Stat4xx course will transfer, UMD has an online Database of Transfer Course Evaluations that allows you to look up specific courses at your current college to see how they would transfer to UMD.

Ultimately, it's best to get in touch with UMD's admissions office directly. They can provide the most accurate, up-to-date information about transferring credits.

Just bear in mind that even if a course transfers for credit, it may not fulfill specific degree requirements. It's always a good idea to work with an academic advisor at UMD to see how your transfer credits fit into your chosen academic plan.
