Transferring to Goodwin

We know that the decision to change schools isn’t one you take lightly. With 49% of our students transferring from other colleges and universities,1 Goodwin knows all the ropes of changing institutions. Our Admissions team will work closely with you to help make your transition as seamless as possible.

Here are a few things to keep in mind before getting started:

  • More than college credits can count. Students come to Goodwin having earned college-level credits at other institutions. However, courses previously taken as professional development, job training, volunteer work, and even personal experiences can count as credits.
  • Previous credits don’t disappear. With some exceptions, most of your credits never expire. Visit our transfer equivalencies page to learn more about what credits will likely transfer.
  • Transferring information from another institution is safe. Your transcript and personal information are protected no matter what.
  • We value your time. Our Admissions team can typically evaluate your prior learning in less than one business day.
