Does anyone know how many credits you need to have before you can transfer to Salem College? I'm trying to plan my classes accordingly and would love any specific advice on this!
Salem College requires transfer students to have a minimum of 24 completed college credits. This approximately equates to one year of full-time college coursework. Do keep in mind, however, that while credit hours can give you an indication of transferability, it's also essential to consider course equivalencies and whether those completed credits align with the school's required curriculum.
It might help to reach out to Salem College's transfer student counselor for guidance tailored to your specific course of study. They can provide you a better sense of what credits will transfer and which courses you should take to meet specific requirements. It's a common practice for institutions to provide some sort of transfer equivalency tool or guide, so this could also be a great resource if available.
Transferring can be a nuanced process, but with planning and communication with the right resources, it can certainly be made smoother, and you can maximize your credit transfer potential.
