Transferring an AA degree to Hunter College?

I have an Associate of Arts degree and I'm considering transferring to Hunter College. Has anyone done this and can share their experience or insights on how the credits transfer over?

Hello! Transferring credits from an Associate of Arts degree to a four-year institution like Hunter College can be pretty smooth, given the right circumstances.

Hunter College has a Transfer Evaluation System (TES) that they use to evaluate how credits will transfer from other accredited institutions. Generally speaking, if you took standard general education courses in your AA program, and they align with the required courses at Hunter, you're likely to receive credits for those classes.

However, it's crucial to note that the acceptability of your credits will ultimately be subject to review by the admissions department and possibly departmental approval for certain majors. Ultimately, the number of credits you will receive and how they will satisfy your degree requirements will vary based on your major.

If you haven't yet applied and are considering Hunter, one thing that could help give you a little more perspective is reaching out to their admissions office or the academic department of your intended major. They can often provide some general insight into how applicable your AA credits will be toward your intended bachelor's degree.

Lastly, remember you need a minimum of a C (2.0) grade for the course for it to get transferred. Credits from any failed or incomplete courses will not be transferred.

Remember that while transferring can be an exciting path to your bachelor's degree, it's important to do your research and make sure the path aligns with what you're hoping to achieve academically. Best of luck!
