question about transferring major

I finished a.s. in marketing but switched to 2-year medical program and worked in for few years but was wondering if I could still transfer credits from my marketing a.s. to 4-year for bachelors or would I have to start over?

Question about degree

Question about degree Transfer

If I get an associates degree in Business Administration would it be fairly easy to get a bachelors in business management? I am asking because I have most credentials for an administration degree, and I would like to graduate with my associates first. Also could I do anything with my Business administration associates degree?

Research project

Hey guys I'm conducting a research study for my quantitive theories class, it's about students grades, who gets higher GPAs, native students or transfer students. The description of what those type of students are, are in the survey as well. Im suppose to have a sample size of 381 students so please if you know anyone who can participate please share this. This would be for CSU Long Beach Students, current or even if you have graduated from there!! If you guys can take it it would mean a lot . thank you !

will my school be notified?

hi all. considering transferring to a more competitive college. i am currently at a mid level private university with a full ride (tuition, housing, living expenses, etc. ) however, my school does not offer resources for the highly competitive career i am attempting to break into and i am also not a culture fit. i would like to apply to see my options, but i’m worried that notifying my home institution will hurt my reputation and scholarship should i choose to stay.

Transferring out of a 4 year

I'm currently a junior at a private university in LA and I need to transfer. The financial aid office won't give me any aid at all and I physically can not pay for tuition. I went to community college and transferred to my current university now and lost a lot of credits as well as took an extra year since the amount of units needed for major as a transfer was crazy (I'm a CECS major). So basically ive already been in school 4 years and have another year left just to get a bachelors degree. I'm feeling really deflated and don't really want to finish school. I can't transfer anywhere in the middle of the year so I have to take a whole year off just to transfer someplace else and finish. Which means it would take me 6 -7 years just for a degree...any advice would be really appreciated. I'm so lost :(

Should I transfer to community college?

I took 5 semesters at a 4 year college, and I got good grades. then got sick with a disease that caused chronic fatigue, so I withdrew for medical reasons, and my class grades were written as "withdrawn." I took two semesters off and then went back. Unfortunately, I got really depressed and had to do the same thing I did when I left the first time. I have now been out of school for over a year (I didn't complete spring semester and am only now looking to go back to school). I really want to go to school. I loved classes before I got sick, and I was a pretty promising student. I feel like a failure right now, but l'm not going to let myself give up. I haven't done a ton in my time off, though. I had therapy 1-2 times a week, and I helped my family (my dad's health is declining, so l've managed appointments and errands). I should've done more in my time off, but I didn't. So I'm pretty sure that the 4 year colleges near me would not accept me because I had to leave twice and have nothing to show for myself. Is it a good idea to transfer to a community college, complete a year, and then transfer to a university? Should I go full time? Or part time? I know some universities will not take you if you only need a few more courses to graduate. Any advice?

Stay at my current university or transfer?

The university I’m currently at isn’t my number one choice and it’s known as a “party school” so I’m honestly pretty embarrassed to be here. It’s also a pretty small town and not that much to do there.

My dad put pressure on me to go here because it’s the university he went to and he wanted one of his kids to go here and none of them have until me. I somewhat like it here cause I have friends and my car, but a lot of that enjoyment is taken away from my dad putting pressure on me.

I missed the deadline (March 1) for transferring for the other schools I was thinking of. But I have friends here and I’m thinking of changing my major so if I transfer I can’t do that at my new school until I’m there for at least a semester.

I need some advice on transferring

I was accepted into an Ohio university (not OU) for the 24-25 year. However, I’m living abroad right now, and the group I’m living with offered me an internship for the 24-25 year. If I accept the internship, I plan to do one year of online college and reapply to the Ohio university that I was accepted into previously. -Would I be more likely to be accepted as a transfer if the online classes are from an Ohio college? -Are universities much more critical when reviewing transfer applications in comparison to freshman applications? What different qualifications do they look for in transfer students? -If you took online courses, do you have recommendations? Thank you

Do I Transfer?

As a freshman in college, my perspective is quite limited as I have only spent a year in college. I go to a very, very small college with 2k students in *total*, and most of them are commuters. One of the biggest problems I have faced is social - there is absolutely no one to mingle with because most students here are so focused on studies that they don't want to make friends, or they already have pre-established friendships from high school or this very small hometown that they grew up in.

Secondly, academics. I came to college with zero idea of what I wanted to do. I hear glorified stories of what I was originally interested in, forensics, which was a program my college didn't even originally offer - so I went into it for a biochemist major, because I was interested in science. As the year progressed, I lost interest in biology, and switched to chemistry. But I have literally met all of the chemistry faculty members (all four of them!) and 2/4 I have had a bad experience with, and one, who is my advisor, I had talked about not even being interested in lab work.

Within my first year, I have had several crisis moments rethinking my entire major not knowing what to do. And, some more negatives, I had to contact the dean due to a professor not grading 20% of our work (our homework), the food gives people literal food poising and gave me personally a horrible stomach bug I almost thought I had appendicitis over, and more.

I just don't know if this is a specifically my college problem, or an all colleges problem. Advice from my family says that it's all colleges, which makes me scared to go elsewhere. I have barely had any wiggle room to explore anything I'm interested in, and I feel so trapped. I don't have a car, and I have a job I make 100$ a week at (prob the best part).

What should I do? I have already applied to other colleges, giving myself an out. This whole experience has been horrible and I still don't even know what it is I want to do.

Got a $7,750 transfer scholarship

The college I'm starting this fall says that they'll match it if another university offers me more.

Are there any colleges I should apply to so I can get it matched? My GPA is 3.17 so it's a little low, I also already have over 60+ credit hours from my previous college and an associates if that helps. The scholarships from nearby colleges only offer about $2,000-$3,000 so they won't be matched.

I don't mind if the college is from out of state/country. Just whatever has a good transfer scholarship

About to fail major required course 3 times. Looking to transfer to another institution to complete my degree

I am currently studying computer science at a 4-year university. I'm taking data structures and algorithms. For various reasons, I was not able to do well on my first 2 attempts. They made the course significantly more difficult the third time around, so I wasn't able to do well. I'm not in danger of failing out, but I am in grave danger of not passing as I am doing so-so on the homeworks, but am failing on the projects as well as doing very average on exams. Seeing as I'm not going to make it through to next semester, I'm considering my options of transferring. It's gonna suck going to a lesser tier institution for my major, but I can't seem to make it work at my current college. What can I do to best prepare for transfer applications. My GPA is about 2.7.

And for people saying that I should consider pursuing a different major, I must inform you that I'm going to college for a degree that will earn money as I cannot have a family or live comfortably or even pay back debt in a timely manner unless I can earn money. I can't really imagine a different career path as this is something I've invested a lot of time and effort into my current career/skill set and I'm determined on graduating with my chosen major.

potentially transferring out of state in the fall, any advice?

Like the title says I submitted a couple apps out of state for the fall 2024 semester. I already have an acceptance for home and am pretty confident at least one of the out of state apps will land. However, I have always been a homebody. I have a close family and have always had a hard time with dependency, but would really like to become more self-sufficient and thought going far might be good for me.

I just keep telling myself I need to wait for the decisions to drop then reevaluate, but I cannot stop thinking about it- I’ve been so torn between potentially going out of state and just staying home. If anyone who was ever in a similar position has any advice on how I should approach the delimma, it would be greatly appreciated!

transferring vs studying abroad

i'm currently a sophomore at a state school in idaho. my family lives about a half hour away as when i was picking schools they thought it was best i stay close to home. i ended up joining a sorority and had an awful experience and dropped last fall. i was left with no friends really besides my coworkers and my best friend and i have been reluctant to join a club after the sorority experience. i've also been fighting a lot with my family and overall just decided i need a change of scenery.

my first option is studying abroad in the fall. i've wanted to study abroad in paris for a while now and now seems like a good time, my best friend is also studying abroad in spain so it would be nice to have someone close. however, that means i have to go back and get through my last year and a half of school here.

my second option is transferring to a small school in socal. i wanted to go to school in california while i was in high school but ultimately decided the best option was to stay close to home, keep my job and friends. i ended up getting accepted as a transfer student. however, i moved around a lot growing up and know how it goes when you move; you lose all of your friends where you used to live. I'm really torn because i would love to live in california after i graduate and am wondering if it would be better to just start over and move now. I'm also concerned about making friends as a junior transfer student and am sure that would be hard. as well as possibly missing out on studying abroad.

i'm really torn on this decision and any help is appreciated 🫶

Can I still transfer to a better college?

I’m in my second year at University of Hawaii at Manoa. I am still a freshman standing as because my first and third semesters did not go well(3 Fs in gen eds that have nothing to do with my major). I am motivated to try to transfer to UTexas Austin to be closer to friends/ family and because UHM is not as advertised (poor amenities, poor housing, what little money there is is pumped into athletics, urban culture is subpar, few opportunities for things I’m passionate about ) I’m asking if there’s a chance I can turn it around and get straight A’s in the next 3 semesters, will UT Austin or Texas Tech Still take me as a third year Sophomore standing with a blemished transcript with outstanding extracurriculars and good recommendations?

To transfer or not to?

I’m currently a freshman at the U in Utah. I love the classes and professors I’ve had, and I’m doing really well in terms of grades and retaining information. However, I haven’t made any friend that I click with and I don’t enjoy the social scene. Since you have to be 21 to enter bars, you can’t even go to a jazz bar or drag bar and just hangout. Also, I don’t love skiing and that’s something everyone does there. Lastly, as someone from Chicagoland area, my personality doesn’t mesh well with the rest of the student body. Most people are from SoCal (or so it feels like) and I guess they just have a different lifestyle.

So, after talking with my parents I’ve decided it might be best if I transfer to a college in the city of Chicago. I’m looking at DePaul and Loyola right now.

Anyone familiar with my situation and have any input/advice? Any and all welcome!

Late deadline colleges?

What colleges do u know that have a late transfer deadline? Like aug 1??

Im taking classes at wgu as I got Academically dismissed from my original university and want to transfer. I have good resume and extra curriculars. But I didnt do good in the classroom and got academically dismissed. Thankfully, I did petition and will be allowed back to my original university after serving one semester as dismissal. But it will benefit me heavily as I absolutely hate where I am and the people near me and just want to transfer. I am a software engineer and business major and hope to continue w that.

Missed one of my CC labs, will it still transfer to a UC?

I missed my lab today (CHEM060 at LAVC) and had to come an hour late and my professor said I can’t make it up. I assume I can still get an A in both the course and the lab (not sure if they’re separate or not). However, my professor mentioned some institutions won’t accept the transfer of the course if even one lab session is missed, how true is this?

I am currently looking for schools with engineering programs to transfer to

I am about to finish my first year of college and am realizing that the major I am currently in is not the one I would like to pursue. I always enjoyed math physics in high school and want to become and engineer. I live in central Long Island and am looking to move away for the rest of my college years. I would like to attend a school that isn't too far and is less than 8 hours away. Does anyone have an recommendations of schools and/or programs that I should be searching for?

Edit: Some more information:

• I would like to do either mechanical or software engineering

• my current school is Five Towns College and my major is Audio Recording Technology on a business track and have taken:

First Semester - computers in business - business organization and management - general psychology - English composition 2 - audio recording theory Second Semester (current) -intro to sociology - accounting 1 - principles of management - audio recording techniques - business communications Extracurriculars -choir -chamber choir -vocal jazz -acappella

• high school gpa was a 4.0 weighted (97.6 if I remember correctly)

• AP calc AB with a score of 5

• AP Physics 1 with a score of 4

• 1360 SAT 690 English 670 math (I know it's a little low for engineering I should tried harder and studied)

• I would like a medium to large campus with a decent night life. The boredom of my current school is a large negative for me. I would like a more urban setting but it's not necessary as long as there are things to do

• I don't have a specific budget but will definitely need financial aid. If I were to give a maximum I would say around 50k to 60k without scholarships. I'm not 100 percent in the financials yet
