Transferring to Minnesota's Private Colleges

Minnesota's Private Colleges are eager to work with transfer students. In fact, one-quarter of new students on campus each year are transfer students. Admission counselors understand that sometimes the first school a student chooses does not work out for them, or students complete general requirements at one school and want to transfer to a private college or university to finish their degrees.

There are many services available to help make the transfer process as smooth as possible, and to help transfer students finish their degrees on time. Transfer students should ask their admission counselors lots of questions and have course syllabi available for each class they've taken to help the college determine which credits will transfer. See the Transfer Guide to Minnesota's Private Colleges PDF (556 KB). Representatives from our admission offices also travel to Minnesota community colleges during the year in a collaborative initiatives called "Transfer Days."
