University Transfer Planning
Working closely with their academic advisor, students develop a personal transfer plan based on their major and their destination transfer universities. Advisors help students understand the university admission process. They also offer valuable guidance in selecting appropriate transfer options.
During the first two years of study, students take a combination of general education classes and introductory classes in their major. During their final two years at university, students take upper-level classes in their major and any remaining general education classes.
