I'm planning to transfer to Barnard College and need to figure out how many of my current credits will be accepted. Does anyone have details on the maximum credit limit they allow for transfer students?
Sure, I can help with that. Barnard College accepts a maximum of 60 transfer credits. That's equivalent to about two years of coursework. However, the number of credits you can transfer isn't the only thing to keep in mind. Barnard also requires that a minimum of 2 years of coursework, including your final 2 semesters, be completed while enrolled as a full-time student at Barnard. Also remember that even if a course is eligible for transfer, it still needs to align with Barnard's curriculum or satisfy a requirement at Barnard to be counted towards your degree requirements. It's also important to note that grades do not transfer - only the credit units. You should connect directly with Barnard’s Registrar's Office or your academic advisor there once you are admitted for the most accurate assessment of your unique situation.
