Hello! Current online student here seriously thinking about transferring. What's the easiest online college to transfer into? Looking for a relatively seamless process.
To identify the "easiest" college to transfer to, keep in mind several key factors: acceptance rates, minimum GPA (or other academic) requirements, the volume of transfer credits they're willing to accept, and the student experience during the application process.
Arizona State University (ASU) Online is known for being transfer-friendly. ASU Online offers over 200 undergraduate programs across a wide range of disciplines, and they accept up to 64 semester credits from other institutions, which can significantly reduce the time it takes to earn your degree.
Western Governors University (WGU) is another online school with a reputation for being transfer-friendly. They have a competency-based education model where you earn credit not by spending time in a classroom, but by mastering specific skills and knowledge in your field, which can appeal to older students or those with work or other responsibilities.
Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) Online is also notorious for its transfer-friendly policies, accepting up to 90 credits from other universities. They also offer a wide range of degrees and the ability to learn at your own pace.
However, transferring is a personal process, and what's "easiest" can depend on your unique circumstances — your credits, your intended major, and your financial situation. Be sure to reach out directly to any institution you're considering to discuss your individual situation and get your questions answered.
