There are many compelling reasons to transfer colleges. For some, it’s a good idea to have a clean start with a new school. For others, a specific degree program may fit perfectly with academic and career goals. While there are many great reasons for choosing a new school, when it comes time to make a move, be sure you’re getting credit for your college experience.

Unity College Distance Education makes it easy to transfer your college credits. Our undergraduate degree programs are designed specifically for students who have some college experience. If you’re looking to complete your bachelor’s degree, don’t miss Unity’s cutting-edge, environmentally-focused programs.

Before you transfer, ask yourself these questions to make sure you’re ready to make a change to your college education:

  • Why am I transferring?
  • Will transferring help me achieve my goals faster?
  • What are the costs – financially, academically, and personally – of making a move to a new school?

Knowing your motivations for changing schools will make it easier to identify degree programs that will better fit your needs.

So, now that you’ve decided to transfer, what’s the next step?

Just like when you applied as a first-time student, you’ll want to have all your transfer application materials gathered before you start the process. Here’s a quick look at how Unity makes it easy to transfer and get credit for your college experience.
