I'm planning my coursework at Essex County College with the hope of transferring to Saint Peter's University later. Does anyone know if there's a good transfer of credits between these two schools?
Both Essex County College and Saint Peter's University are in New Jersey, and there’s generally good cooperation between schools in the same state or region when it comes to transferring credits.
However, credit transferability can depend on certain factors such as specific courses taken, grades achieved, and the programs/majors involved. For the most accurate and updated information, I would recommend connecting directly with the admissions offices or academic advisors at both institutions.
The academic advisors at Essex County College could provide you with guidance on the selection of courses that will optimize your chances for smooth credit transfer. Simultaneously, a discussion with the Saint Peter's University admissions office will give you a clearer picture of their policy on accepting transfer credits.
Remember that you should ideally aim for courses that would fulfill both your degree requirements at Essex and at Saint Peter's. That way, you're staying on track towards your degree, regardless of the specific school offering it.
