At Marist, we value what our transfer students contribute to our vibrant student community. We know you've worked hard and we respect that, which is why we accept up to 90% of transfer credits. Our Transfer Credit Roadmap will estimate how many of your credits from other institutions will transfer to your desired degree program at Marist, track your transfer steps and deadlines, and find resources to ease your college transition.
