I'm aiming to transfer to Baruch College and trying to understand how many credits I can transfer. Does Baruch have a cap on transferable credits, and are there specific requirements I should be aware of?
Baruch College, like many institutions, has certain guidelines related to transferring credits. A maximum of 93 credits can be transferred towards your undergraduate degree from a four-year college. However, if you're transferring from a two-year college, then the maximum is 70 credits.
It's important to note that only credits earned with a grade of C or better are typically considered for transfer. Furthermore, not every credit may transfer over as it depends on whether the course aligns with Baruch's curriculum. Some courses might not have a fitting equivalent at Baruch and might just be considered as elective credits or not considered at all.
Courses taken more than 10 years before the point of transfer might not be accepted for business courses at Baruch. However, non-business courses can still be transferred. Do keep in mind these policies are subject to change and it is best to directly reach out to Baruch's transfer admissions office for the most accurate and current information. They can provide the most detailed insights tailored to your individual situation and transcript.
