I'm planning to transfer to Queens College with a Business major. What are the specific requirements or prerequisites I should be aware of? Is there anything extra that transfer students need to do compared to freshmen?
To transfer into Queens College's Business program, several proximity criteria need to be satisfied. Usually, the college looks for a minimum GPA of around 2.5, but remember, meeting the minimum doesn't guarantee admission as it can often be competitive.
For the business major, you're also likely to need specific course prerequisites. These often include Intro to Microeconomics, Intro to Macroeconomics, and Elementary/Intermediate Calculus.
Transfer credits for these prerequisites are generally accepted, but do reach out to the college's Admissions Office or your assigned transfer counselor to confirm that your previous coursework meets their standards. Be aware that not all credits may transfer, so it's important to get this clarified.
It's also worth checking the maximum transfer credits that Queens College will accept. Often, colleges will cap this to ensure students take a significant proportion of their credit hours at the institution from which they'll graduate.
Moreover, Queens College typically looks for an agreement of good standing from your current or previous college. This ensures that there are no disciplinary issues on record that would prevent your admission.
Once accepted to Queens College, there will likely be orientation sessions specifically for transfer students to help smooth your transition and familiarize you with new resources and services.
Ultimately, all these points should be confirmed by reaching out directly to the college's Admissions Office. They can provide you with the most accurate and up-to-date information tailored to your personal circumstances. Good luck with your transfer process!
