Bryant & Stratton College accepts transfer credits from other accredited institutions, and B&SC credits may transfer to other colleges depending on the receiving institution’s policies. When you provide your transcripts, our Transfer Coordinator will conduct a preliminary evaluation to determine how your previous coursework applies toward your program requirements. Students may earn a maximum of 75% (70% in Virginia) of the credits required for a degree through transfer. Because transfer policies vary by institution, we recommend checking with your target school directly as well. Learn more about transfer credits or speak with an admissions advisor.
