Transferring Community College Credits to Smith College?

I'm currently at a community college and thinking about transferring to Smith College. Does anyone know how many credits they'll accept from community colleges? I'm planning my courses and want to make sure they're all transferable.

The transition from community college to a four-year institution like Smith College is an exciting step, and ensuring your credits transfer is indeed an important part of that process.

In general, Smith College allows for the transfer of up to 64 credits from regionally accredited two-year and four-year institutions. This means if you have more than 64 credits, they may not all transfer, but a substantial portion should.

Please keep in mind, however, that not all courses may transfer. Each course is evaluated by Smith College to see if it aligns with the rigor and content of courses offered there. It's encouraged that students take a majority of their courses in academic, liberal arts disciplines to increase the likelihood of credits transferring.

Have your course syllabi ready as they can help Smith's Transfer Credit Evaluators assess whether the courses you took at the community college align with the academic program at Smith.

One approach you could take is to reach out directly to Smith's Registrar or Transfer Admissions staff. They could provide advice on your specific course selection and are usually very helpful to prospective transfer students. Hope this information helps you plan your academic path!
