Transfer Students

Every student’s story is a little bit different, and we are excited to hear how yours led you to the iSchool. Learn more about how we support transfer students from other institutions, and how we can make the process as smooth as possible.

We welcome transfer students from across the globe, and are here to make the process as simple as possible. We encourage you to learn more about how we support transfer students, hear from other transfer students about their experience, and find out what’s required for your application.

To make the transfer experience as seamless as possible, the iSchool has signed articulation agreements with a growing list of accredited universities and two-year institutions that offer similar programs at their colleges. These agreements ease the transition process by allowing specific completed course work to transfer in with students and be counted as completed college credits.

Articulation agreements are not a prerequisite; we accept applications from transfer students from any accredited school. Find out exactly how your courses will transfer by browsing Syracuse University’s Transfer Evaluation System.

We have articulation agreements with a variety of institutions. For more details regarding specific articulation agreements, please visit the Syracuse University Office of Admissions ​Community College and Institutional Partnerships page.
