Transfer: Up to 90 Credits for a Bachelor’s

Up to 12 Credits for a Master’s

NARRATION:
Number two: Work with an advisor to get a preliminary estimate of your transfer credits in less than 48 hours after you have applied.

From there we’ll be able to assess how much money you will save, and your timeline to graduation.

NARRATION:
Number Three: Meet with a tuition coordinator to identify the affordable methods of payment you are eligible for such as scholarships, tuition assistance, and financial aid.

Military-affiliated students – this is the time to learn about the cost of attending, and your eligibility for tuition assistance -- both specific to the military.
