If you are interested in transferring to a private school, Google the school name & “course articulations.” This will redirect you to a page where you can see what courses you will have to take at community college to transfer to that specific school.
Since all private schools have different requirements, it is suggested that students reach out to the Office of Admissions of the campus they are interested in to have more clarity surrounding the application process.
