Transfer Course Requirements

College of Arts and Sciences

The College and Graduate School of Arts & Sciences is the largest of the University of Virginia’s 11 schools and is the institution’s intellectual core. The College welcomes properly qualified transfer students from other institutions of higher education. To be admitted as a transfer student, you must submit to the Admission Office your official final transcript from your current and all previous colleges and universities. To learn more about transferring credit and to evaluate course credit equivalencies, please visit the College’s transfer credit page.

College Transfer Course Requirements:

  • English Composition (your school’s full course sequence)
  • Foreign Languages - Demonstrated proficiency equal to the intermediate level of college instruction (usually the 202 level).
  • Natural Sciences and Mathematics (12 credits) - Courses in at least two of the disciplines: astronomy, biology, chemistry, environmental sciences, physics, and mathematics. Math courses must include statistics, finite math calculus, or higher level-courses; pre-calculus will apply towards a degree but will not satisfy the requirement.
  • Social Sciences (6 credits) - One course in two of the following subjects: anthropology, economics, government, linguistics, psychology, or sociology.
  • Humanities (6 credits) - One course in two of the following three groups: literature (classics, comparative literature, English, foreign literature): fine arts (art, drama, music); moral, philosophical, and religious thought (political theory, philosophy, religion).
  • Historical Studies (3 credits) - One course that is substantially historical, whether taught in a history department or in some other discipline.
  • Non-Western Perspective (3 credits) - One course from any department that deals substantially with a cultural heritage other than that of the West

Important: Candidates with an associate's degree or two years of college coursework are preferred. Students transferring after one year of college should have completed at least 24 semester-hours; students transferring after two years should have completed at least 60 semester-hours. The College of Arts and Sciences will not grant credit for more than 60 semester-hours completed elsewhere.

Most students who are offered admission will be able to enter directly into their chosen major. Biology, Physics, Economics, and Political and Social Thought are more competitive or have specific course prerequisite requirements. For guidance about specific courses that must be taken at your current institution to meet prerequisites needed for those particular majors, please contact the department of your intended major.

Transfer students considering the Economics Major are strongly advised to review this website before selecting fall courses. Any questions about the Economics Major should be sent to [email protected].

There are a minimal number of seats for rising third-year transfers who are interested in Media Studies. These students would need to enroll in two prerequisite courses during the fall term and may declare the Media Studies major prior to the beginning of the spring term if they complete the prerequisites. Such students will always need to have the necessary prerequisites for an alternate major in case the student is not eligible for Media Studies.

The BA in Computer Science requires additional specific pre-requisite coursework prior to entry.  We strongly encourage you to review the transfer student information at this link for more details.

School of Nursing

The School of Nursing confers the degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing on candidates who successfully complete a four-year program of study. Students attending a Virginia community college must pursue a program of pre-nursing general education courses in order to be eligible for transfer. The School of Nursing accepts transfer students into the second year of the program. Students will normally complete at least one year of college level work before transfer. Completion of the program qualifies the graduate for beginning positions in hospital, clinic, office, school, public health and industrial nursing, for commissions in military service, and for graduate study in nursing.


PROGRAM COMPOSITION AND DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
Courses in the School of Nursing are composed of two discrete but interrelated elements—Interprofessional and Core. Interprofessional courses are designed to facilitate transition to the role of health care provider and include social science and natural science content with special application to health care. Selected interprofessional courses are open to all students within the University in addition to students of nursing.

The nursing core courses include basic knowledge and skills needed to practice professional nursing at a beginning level. Clinical and classroom experiences and academic work provide a broad basis for nursing practice related to both acute and chronic illness and health promotion. The emphasis is on individuals, families, and groups with varying levels of health and at all points in the life cycle. In addition, issues related to professional nursing are also included.

The degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing is conferred by the General Faculty upon those candidates recommended by the faculty of the School of Nursing as having successfully completed a prescribed course of study, including not fewer than 120 semester hours of approved courses. A total of 49 semester hours is required in the natural and social sciences and the humanities; and 71 semester hours are required in nursing courses. In addition, the candidate must have earned a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 ("C") on prescribed work.

Two tracks are offered for non-traditional students interested in preparation for nursing practice. Registered nurses without baccalaureate degrees may progress through a modified undergraduate curriculum and obtain their BSN degree in two academic years (part-time study). Students who have baccalaureate degrees in other fields may progress through a Master's Level degree program. Please see the School of Nursing website for more information. Further progression in graduate study is encouraged and facilitated for interested, qualified individuals. For details, contact the School of Nursing.

ADMISSION
PLEASE NOTE: Admission guidelines contained herein speak specifically to transfer applicants from the community college system and from other undergraduate programs. Registered Nurse applicants must contact the School of Nursing for specific admission requirements. In every case, an applicant for transfer admission must be in good academic and social standing at any college which he/she is currently attending or has previously attended, and must be eligible to return there. Relevant volunteer or work experience in a clinical setting will be taken into consideration and will be a factor in the selection process. Students wishing to transfer after one year at a Virginia community college or another accredited college must have successfully completed a minimum of 30 semester hours of the following general education requirements:

Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy

The Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy was founded in 2007.  In addition to a Bachelor of Arts in Public Policy and Leadership, Batten offers to UVA students a Minor in Public Policy and Leadership, a Minor in Social Entrepreneurship, and an Accelerated Master of Public Policy.

The Bachelor of Arts in Public Policy and Leadership is a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary degree which introduces students to the many facets of public policy—from the economic and political to the psychological and cultural—and prepares them for robust participation in public life. The program focuses on understanding how public policy decisions are made; how civic leaders in government, non-profit organizations, and the private sector contribute to collective problem solving; and how policy decisions affect public problems in communities.

The Batten School welcomes qualified transfer students into the undergraduate major from other institutions of higher education. Prior to the fall they begin in the program, students must complete three prerequisite courses, earning a C or higher: ECON 2010: Microeconomics (or equivalent), PSYC 2600: Social Psychology (or equivalent), and LPPP 2200: Introduction to Public Policy. Accepted transfer credit from another college or university is allowed towards the fulfillment of these prerequisites. Exceptions to prerequisite requirements are granted on a case-by-case basis by appeal to the Batten Admissions Office.

In addition to the three prerequisite courses, successful candidates for transfer admission to the Batten School must exhibit satisfactory progress towards the completion of Batten’s general education requirements :

  • English Composition (3 credits or your school’s English comp requirement)
  • Foreign Languages - Demonstrated proficiency equal to the intermediate level of college instruction (the 202 level)
  • Natural Sciences and Mathematics (12) - Courses in at least two of the disciplines: astronomy, biology, chemistry, environmental sciences, physics, and mathematics. Math courses must include statistics, finite math calculus, or higher level-courses; pre-calculus will apply towards a degree but will not satisfy the requirement.
  • Humanities (3) - One course in one of the following two groups: literature (classics, comparative literature, English, foreign literature) or fine arts (art, drama, music).
  • Historical Studies (3) - One course that is substantially historical, whether taught in a history department or in some other discipline.
  • Non-Western Perspective (3) - One course from any department that deals substantially with a cultural heritage other than that of the West

Important:  Similar to the McIntire School’s B.S. in Commerce, the Bachelor of Arts in Public Policy and Leadership is a two-year program that begins in the fall of a student’s third year. Students transferring after one year of college should apply to the College of Arts and Sciences and then apply to the Bachelor of Arts with other UVA students through the regular admissions process. Students transferring directly into the Batten School after two years should have completed at least 60 semester hours.
