Hi, guys! I have accumulated a significant number of transfer credits. Are there any colleges out there that are known for accepting around 90 transfer credits or more?
Hello! It's great that you have accumulated a significant number of transfer credits. While most colleges do have a limit on how many transfer credits they will accept, some institutions are more flexible and receptive to higher transfer credit counts. Generally, public universities and larger institutions are more likely to have a higher cap on the number of transfer credits they accept. Here are a few examples of schools and their transfer credit policies:
1. University of Maryland Global Campus (UMGC): UMGC has a fairly generous transfer credit policy, accepting up to 90 credits from accredited institutions, as well as credits from military training, professional certifications, and exams.
2. Oregon State University: OSU accepts up to 135 quarter credits (90 semester credits) from regionally accredited colleges and universities.2
3. California State University (CSU): The CSU system generally accepts up to 90 transfer credits from a combination of community colleges and four-year institutions, although the specific number of credits that can be applied to a degree program depends on the campus and major.
It's important to keep in mind that even if a college does accept a large number of transfer credits, this doesn't guarantee that all of your credits will transfer and count toward your chosen degree program. The specific course equivalencies and how they fulfill your program's major or general education requirements can vary by institution. It's always a good idea to reach out to the admissions department of the colleges you are interested in to discuss your transfer credit situation in more detail. They may be able to provide guidance on maximizing the number of credits that can be applied to your chosen program. Good luck!
