Transfer Credits & General Education Requirements
When a student transfers to Saint Joseph College the credits they transfer in prior to official matriculation is what will determine which general education requirements the student needs to fulfill.
A student transferring in with 24 or more credits is waived from;
a) First-Year Seminar
b) One Religious Studies course
c) Either Philosophy OR the values/ethics perspective.
If a student transfers in 23 credits and later completes additional transfer credits, those credits are not added to the original 23 to grant waiver from the three requirements mentioned above.
ADVANCED PLACEMENT
Students who enter Saint Joseph College with an Advanced Placement score of 4 or above will be granted advanced placement and credit. Select courses are granted transfer credit with a score of 3 or higher.
