Students transferring to Carlow for programs in:
- Science, Mathematics or Social Work must have a minimum 2.5 GPA
- Perfusion Technology must have a minimum 2.8 GPA
- Education or Nursing must have a minimum 3.0 GPA
- All other programs require a minimum 2.0 GPA
Admission is determined on an individual basis. SAT/ACT scores are not required for transfer students but may be one of the factors considered if the student has minimal college credit.
- BSN Program - Transfer applicants for Carlow's BSN program must apply by February 15 for fall admission only. Spaces are limited and highly competitive. RN-to-BSN program applicants may apply anytime for spring or fall admission.
- For all other programs, Carlow operates on a rolling admissions basis for transfers, typically through August 1 each year for the fall, and December 1 for the spring, or as long as space allows. However, students are encouraged to apply as early as possible.
Carlow University accepts transfer credits from accredited programs and colleges. The University will make every attempt to utilize the academic credits earned by its students. This system can be used to approximate how courses will transfer to Carlow University. The courses listed typically transfer as listed. Differences can occur, however, when a student is transferring courses into the major field of study. Grades must be a "C" or above to be transferred to Carlow and letter grades must be received. "P's" ("Pass") and "S's" ("Satisfactory") grades do NOT transfer.
Tips for Traditional Transfers
Here are a few tips for transfer students to help you along your way to transferring to Carlow University:
- Work with your academic advisor at your current institution. Check to see if there is a transfer counselor designated to help students in the transfer process.
- Community Colleges (CCAC, WCCC, BCCC, CCBC)
- Four-year Colleges and Universities
- Talk with your current academic advisor
- Check the Transfer Student Credit Equivalency Guide to determine if your school is included (Many four year institutions in western Pennsylvania and beyond are listed)
- Review Carlow Academic Programs for a variety of majors
- Post-secondary vocational/technical schools
- Talk with your current academic advisor
- Articulation agreements with AIP (from Fall, 1998) and PTI (from Spring, 2003) allow individual courses to transfer. For other schools (as well as for AIP and PTI prior to Articulation), a technical block of up to 20 general credits may be awarded (not to be applied to any Carlow academic requirement).
