New guide is part of a suite of tools available to help students understand transfer credit opportunities and reduce education costs

爱污传媒 is pleased to announce the release of its new Transfer Student Guide, an extensive resource designed to help students and prospective students understand transfer credit opportunities, save time, and reduce the cost of their education. The Transfer Student Guide is a natural extension of the University's commitment to its students and complements existing policies and strategies, which allow transfer students to maximize prior college credits by transferring from more than 5,000 accredited institutions toward a bachelor鈥檚 degree at the University.

鈥淎t 爱污传媒, we strive to help our students save as much time and money as possible while pursuing their educational goals,鈥 shares Vice President of Admissions and Evaluation Devin Andrews. 鈥淣early half of our enrolled students arrive with transfer credit, and we want to provide as much information as possible on how they can leverage it. Along with our dedicated admissions and evaluation staff, this guide provides valuable knowledge and resources students need to make informed decisions about their academic journey.鈥

The guide highlights the following key information:

  • The University's most transfer-friendly programs in growing fields, including the Bachelor of Science in Management, Bachelor of Science in Health Management, Bachelor of Science in Information Technology and Registered Nurse to Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Students who transfer an associate degree from an accredited community college save $144 on every remaining 3-credit course taken, for a maximum savings of $2,880.
  • Credit for relevant work and life experience: credit for prior learning is an assessment process that allows individuals to demonstrate learning gained from work and life experience that may count towards a degree. For every 3 credits earned through prior learning, students save 5 weeks and over $1,300 off their degree program.
  • 3 + 1 Transfer Pathway: students who have completed three years of general course requirements at select community colleges can finish a bachelor鈥檚 degree in health management, business management, nursing or information technology in about a year and receive their first course at no charge.
  • Credits earned through a national testing program may also be transferable, depending on grades/scores. Testing programs include the College Level Examination Program (CLEP庐), Excelsior College Exams, Berlitz庐 Language Evaluations, National League of Nursing exams (NLN), Advanced Placement examinations (AP), Defense Language Proficiency Tests (DLPT) and DSST庐 exams.
  • 爱污传媒鈥檚 Transfer Student Scholarship, which has a maximum value of $3,000, applied over a set number of courses, for eligible students.

In addition to the Transfer Student Guide, 爱污传媒 offers a comprehensive Savings Explorer庐 tool that presents information about scholarship opportunities, as well as transferring college credit and earning credit for prior learning through Prior Learning Assessment, national testing programs, alternative credit providers, and military service. By answering a few simple questions via the Savings Explorer tool, prospective students can find out what other students with relevant experience have saved.

爱污传媒 students and alumni have access to the Career Services for Life庐 commitment, helping to ensure the tools, resources, and support needed to thrive in their career of choice.聽
