How do I know which classes are equivalent at different universities for transfer planning?
I am a high school senior, and I want to estimate class equivalencies, but because of different numbering systems, it is hard to determine this. I am particularly looking at taking a year at the University of Alaska-Fairbanks, then transferring the credits to the University of Florida, but they do not have any transfer agreements. How can I estimate this to plan my schedule without specifically asking for an official transfer agreement for each class? I am planning specifically on starting my basic science classes (general chemistry, statistics, coding, microbiology), but some of them have various versions, and I don't want to waste my time and money. I would appreciate any guidance!

Associates in Criminal Justice a waste of time if wanting to become a Forensic Anthropologist ?
Hello everyone. I want to become a Forensic Anthropologist and I know it's a lot of work and schooling which is fine. But I enrolled in a Community College recently to up my GPA from the last College I attended which was another Community College. I was okay with this plan until I 1) spoke with an advisor who wanted me to do an add on certificate, which I really don't believe I need. She also totally ignored the bigger picture of what I wanted to do by getting my PHD later on. 2) I realized after doing additional research that I merely need a Bachelor's degree in Anthropology, plus my Master's and PHD to get into Forensic Anthropology. Making my current degree track in Criminal Justice useless? My question is should I get my associates in Criminal Justice? Would it be an asset to me later on? Or is it a massive waste of time and I should consider transferring after a year? Any advice would be great, thanks!
IT Major with Plans to Transfer After a Year—Need Advice
Hi everyone, I briefly mentioned this topic in one of my old posts, but I’d like to get more detailed advice. I’m planning to attend community college with an IT major for a year, and I’m considering transferring to a four-year institution afterward. I’m unsure whether it’s better to continue with the IT major during my community college time or switch to general studies. I’m worried about whether sticking with IT might limit my options for choosing a different major when I transfer. If anyone has experience with this situation or can offer guidance on how staying in IT might impact my transfer and major selection, I’d really appreciate your insights! Thanks in advance for your help!

Best college program as a double-major undergrad transfer student?
I’m currently a third-year undergrad student, double majoring in Criminology & Film. I currently have 90 out of 120 credits to graduate at my current university but I have to withdraw and find a new school for personal reasons. I'm currently double-majoring in both Criminology and Film. My criminology degree falls under my university's “Justice & Law” degree, criminology being one of the concentrations (“International Terrorism” & “Legal Studies” being the other two). My film major falls under their School of Communication, as a degree in “Film & Media studies”. I was wondering if someone out there could help me find a school with classes most similar to what I’ve been studying already. I'm looking for a school that offers a Bachelor's in both Criminology & Film or something similar. I feel very overhwled! The best case scenario would be to find a school that will let me retake the least amount of courses/credits in order to graduate, since most transfer students are required to take extra courses that extend their graduation date. Any help is appreciated!

Should I transfer schools? [College transfer]
Hello CareerVillage community! I'm currently a college student in my second year. I'm about to complete my fourth semester at my public school, where I'm pursuing a BFA in Studio Art, concentration in Graphic Design. I just declared my major as Graphic Design, but the program that I am in is lacking in many, many ways. It's not rigorous enough for me, and I feel like it's not challenging enough for me. My university is definitely not known for this major. I did want to transfer out in my first year, and planned on transferring out after making a portfolio, but I stayed for the friends I made and the communities I became a part of. But with the major that I'm in, it's a bit of a tricky situation. Should I be looking to transfer to more professional art schools? I do feel confident enough in my ability, but I have no portfolio. It's too late to make one, and I don't have time to apply as a junior transfer. It's a bit of a pickle. I know it's late, but I really didn't want to leave my school right now, but after spending a semester in upper-level Graphic Design courses, I'm seeing how awful the program is. Should I stick to my college right now, in a very lacking BFA program, or attempt to transfer to a more expensive school and wait a year to apply? I'm conflicted. Thank you in advance! tags: #art #graphic-design #college-transfer #art-school #fine-art #transfer

As a PSEO student, what is more beneficial.. graduating from my PSEO institution or transferring on to the college I want to go to?
This question came to my mind because I was having a conversation with a friend who was done with all her credits needed to earn her associate degree from a community college. She was also a PSEO student but she told me that she is not graduating from the community college, in fact, she is just going to transfer. According to her, the reason for doing so is because when one is graduating they get less financial aid as compared to students who are transferring. I am just really confused now, should I graduate from my community college or should I just transfer? #PSEO #Transfer #graduate PS: PSEO is a program which lets high school students finish their associate degree or get done with some of their college classes while they are still high school students!
