Transfer Planning Tools

Transfer plans demonstrate the shortest path to degree completion in a student’s chosen program. Columbia College Chicago’s transfer plans outline the total number of credits required for each major and degree, and the number of semesters required to finish. They are based on completion of 60 credit hours and all general education requirements prior to transferring to the college. With assistance from an academic advisor, students may be able to plan for additional experiences such as pursuing a minor, studying abroad, or taking an internship.
