Admission of Transfer Students

Marietta College welcomes application for admission from students who wish to transfer after one or more successful academic terms at other institutions of higher learning. All transfer applicants must file the Application for Transfer Admission along with official transcripts of all colleges attended, high school transcripts, and a completed Transfer Recommendation. Additionally, an essay is required along with a Clearance Form signed by the Dean at the college last attended. Prospective students should send all information to the Office of Admission.

Students wishing to transfer college credit should also consult Undergraduate Graduation Requirements and Programs of Study sections that describe the degree requirements and the Credit for Prior Learning section that outlines how transfer credits may apply to those requirements. The Registrar determines the transfer credits in consultation with the academic departments.

Admission with Associate of Arts or Associate of Science Degrees

Marietta College encourages application for admission from students completing their Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree. Any graduate of an accredited two-year college with an A.A. or an A.S. degree and a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.500 (on a 4.000 scale) will be admitted with junior class standing (a minimum of 59 semester credit hours). Most students with A.A. or A.S. degrees can obtain a Bachelor’s degree from Marietta College in two years. In each case, the ability to do so depends upon the number of courses taken at the two-year college that will meet:

Marietta’s General Education and other Undergraduate Degree Requirements and
The requirements for the major selected by the student.

Students entering Marietta College with an A.A. or A.S. degree are exempt from the Secondary Concentration requirement.

Applied associate degrees are evaluated on a course-by-course basis; advanced standing cannot be guaranteed.

Admission of Nurses

Any registered nurse who has completed either a two- or three-year accredited nursing program, passed the examination for registry, and completed not fewer than three years of work experience in the nursing profession will be awarded 60 semester hours of credit toward any Bachelor’s degree program.
