If you’ve earned credits from a college or university that was regionally accredited at the time you attended, we will help to apply those credits toward a St. Kate’s degree. St. Kate’s offers free unofficial pre-admission evaluations to review your transcripts and estimate how many courses you have left to complete your bachelor’s degree. Courses must 100 or 1000 level or higher.

Your first step: connect with an admission counselor. Your counselor will create your transfer plan—a free guide to how your previous courses will transfer into St. Kate's, as well as what you'll need to do to complete your degree. Learn more about transferring credit to St. Kate's.
