Transferring to Academy of Art from Community College?

I'm studying at a community college and am interested in transferring to the Academy of Art University. Has anyone done this, and how did it work out for you? I'm unsure about the credits and what the admissions process is like.

Yes, transferring from a community college to the Academy of Art University is definitely possible. Many students choose the community college pathway as a more cost-effective means to complete their lower division requirements before transferring to a 4-year institution.

To start, you'll need to check whether your completed community college credits will transfer to the Academy of Art. Each course's curriculum needs to be evaluated, but in general, the University has a liberal transfer policy and accepts most accredited coursework. You'd need to contact the Academy of Art's Registrar's Office or Transfer Admissions for specifics concerning your personal situation.

Usually, when students are interested in transferring, they meet with an academic counselor prior to applying. That way students can discuss their personal academic goals and see how their existing credits might fit into their degree plans. You can schedule an appointment with an admissions representative to get guidance on this.

As a part of the transfer process, you will need to supply all official transcripts from any institutions you previously attended, fill out an application for admission, and provide any additional materials required by your program of interest.

I would recommend that you check out the Academy of Art University's website for more specific information or reach out to their Admissions Office. This should help you understand the steps you need to take and the timeline you need to follow. Best of luck with your transfer process!
