I'm interested in transferring to Eckerd College and am curious about how they evaluate transfer credits. Do they accept most courses completed elsewhere, or is it selective?
Eckerd College uses a course-by-course evaluation approach to assess transfer credits. Typically, courses from regionally accredited colleges or universities with a grade of C or higher can be accepted.
It's important to note that the transferability of courses depends on the compatibility of the course content with Eckerd's curriculum. For example, if you took a course in your previous institution that closely aligns with a course offered at Eckerd, it's likely to be accepted as equivalent credit.
Additionally, Eckerd counts only courses that are comparable to those in its liberal arts and sciences curriculum. Also, some specific programs or majors might have stricter requirements about which courses can be transferred for credit toward that major.
To find out exactly how your credits will transfer, your best course of action would be to reach out to the Admissions Office at Eckerd. They might even be able to connect you with an academic advisor or transfer credit evaluator who can review your official transcripts and provide a more accurate assessment.
