Students transferring to Clark from another higher education institution as a transfer applicant may transfer no more than 16 units of course credit. Clark does not pre-evaluate courses for transfer credit. Evaluation of credits for college coursework is made at the time of admission and is used in planning a program of study. Transfer credit is not guaranteed. Outside seminars, internships, and remedial or vocational coursework are not transferable to Clark’s curriculum. Online courses will be considered for credit if taken through a regionally accredited higher education institution and only with a grade of C or higher.
Clark participates in transfer articulation agreements with Mount Wachusett Community College and Quinsigamond Community College. These articulation agreements offer guidelines to make transferring course credit between select programs and Clark’s four-year B.A. program a straightforward process. If you meet these and all other Clark admissions criteria, you have a general guarantee of admission. To qualify, you must:
- Attend Quinsigamond Community College in Worcester, MA or Mount Wachusett Community College in Gardner, MA
- Earn an associate’s degree in liberal arts (all options) or interactive media – game design from Quinsigamond Community College or an associate’s degree in liberal arts and sciences from Mount Wachusett Community College
- Earn a minimum GPA of 3.0
- Have taken several courses above 100-level or equivalent
- Complete a transfer application to Clark by May 1 for the fall semester or Nov. 1 for the spring semester
Clark also considers college-level coursework completed while enrolled in high school, prior to matriculation, if that credit is in a content area deemed academically acceptable to Clark and is from a regionally accredited college or university. No more than two semesters (eight units) is granted for college-level coursework, or a combination of college-level coursework and advanced examination credit, completed while enrolled in high school.
