Transfer Students

At Maria, we help transfer students find ways to connect with our community, have academic success and make the most of your time with us. Individuals are considered a transfer student if they have enrolled in any college or university courses after graduating from high school. Each year, approximately 60 percent of our new incoming students have transferred from another college or university. Maria accepts most credits from all regionally accredited colleges. We also accept credits from Advanced Placement and CLEP.

Our students experience an education that is not only about acquiring knowledge but also about giving to others. We are committed to teaching you the value of giving to others.

Most transfer students have many concerns about their credits, fitting into their new college and affordability. In the true spirit of Maria College, we want to do everything we can to make the application process as easy as possible for you. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns, (518) 861-2517 or admissions@mariacollege.edu
