Transfer Credits

At Woodmont College, our goal is to help our students succeed and complete their degrees in the most efficient way. A student can transfer up to 65% of the required credits for an undergraduate degree at Woodmont College. Students may transfer credits from other institutions or via proficiency examinations. Transfer credit can be used to satisfy either a major or general education requirement or elective.

Students can transfer up to 65% of the degree to Woodmont College.
