How to transfer colleges

Admission counselors understand that sometimes the first school you choose isn’t the best fit, or you complete general requirements at one school and want to transfer to finish your degree. Because one-quarter of students at Minnesota private colleges have transferred, many of our schools have night, weekend or other programs that allow students to continue working and caring for families while going to school; others cater to the “traditional” undergraduate experience.

To help make the transfer process as smooth as possible and to help you finish your degree on time, ask your admission counselor lots of questions. Have course syllabi available for each class you've taken so the college can determine which credits will transfer.
