Schools Found
Transferology will return a list of participating colleges and universities and show how the courses, standardized exams, and military credits entered have been evaluated for transfer to or award of credit at the institution.
In order to appear in the Match results, the school must have evaluated at least one course, exam, or military credit from those entered. Schools will display in order of match percentage; those that have evaluated and will accept the most courses will appear at the top.
If coming to Transferology directly from a link on a school or system's website, a filter may be applied to display the results of that school or the system colleges only. Select Show additional results or use the filters (see below) to show other schools with Matches.
