Due to their educational, career, and geographic backgrounds, transfer students add a welcome diversity to the undergraduate population. Anna Maria accepts a large number of transfer students each semester.

Requirements for Transfer Admission

Undergraduate students who have attended an accredited college beyond high school graduation may be accepted for admission to AMC provided they meet admission requirements. Falsification or omission of application information will void admission to AMC. Students with less than 12 transferable hours will be reviewed by their high school transcript and SAT or ACT scores. The more college courses the student has completed, the greater the emphasis given to college credentials in the admission decision.

Transferring Credits

Anna Maria College accepts transfer credits received from fully accredited colleges and universities. AMC will accept up to 60 transfer credits which is equivalent to two years of college coursework and junior year class standing. Students must complete a minimum of 60 credits at Anna Maria College or within the Worcester Consortium of Colleges in order to earn a degree from AMC.

Anna Maria College generally grants transfer credit for courses taken at other colleges or universities that correspond to or are comparable with those offered at Anna Maria. Students must receive a grade of C or better to receive transfer credit. The final decision regarding credits acceptable for transfer to Anna Maria College is made by the appropriate Academic Department.

If you are accepted to Anna Maria College as a transfer student, you may request a preliminary transfer credit evaluation. Otherwise, you will be notified of your official transfer credits when you arrive on campus for new student orientation and meet with your academic advisor.
