What courses transfer from Gateway to SCSU?

I'm currently at Gateway Community College and thinking about the transfer program at Southern Connecticut State University (SCSU). How does the course transfer process work, and are there any specific classes I should focus on?

Transferring from a community college to a four-year institution like Southern Connecticut State University (SCSU) is a common pathway for many students, and it's typically well-coordinated to ensure your existing credits can be transferred seamlessly.

Southern Connecticut State University likely has an established articulation agreement with Gateway Community College. This means they've pre-determined which courses and how much of the credits from Gateway transfer over to SCSU - these are often directly equivalent to SCSU's required courses.

However, the exact classes that transfer and how they correspond to SCSU's program requirements will depend on your intended major. Generally, classes that are part of your general education requirements like English, Math, and Science classes, or those in your major that are similar at both institutions have a high likelihood of transferring.

It's important that you speak with an academic advisor at both Gateway and SCSU to ensure you're taking the right classes for your intended major. They can provide a list of courses from Gateway Community College that are accepted at SCSU under their existing agreement.

Before making the move, double-check with your chosen department at SCSU for any department-specific requirements that may not be covered by the general transfer agreement.

Reminder, achieving good grades at Gateway is also important. Even though your credits might transfer, some selective programs at SCSU may look at your GPA as part of their admissions criteria.

Keep in mind that, despite careful planning, not every single credit might transfer, but knowing the general system can really help you maximize what does.

This process is undertaken with the help of the admissions office and possibly the registrar's office, so don't hesitate to reach out to them for further assistance.
