• Place that makes transferring easy - with free credit evaluations and transfer counseling, plus scholarships just for transfer students.

• Liberal arts school with a strong career development program (we don’t get you ready for just one career - we prepare you to succeed wherever your life takes you).

• Catholic university that welcomes all students - from every faith and background.

• Great value: we offer a private school education at a lower cost than some state schools.

Free Credit Evaluations & Transfer Counseling

To help with your transfer decision, we will be happy to:

• Provide a free unofficial evaluation of your current academic credit situation prior to applying to Seton Hill. You can request a free credit evaluation when you fill out a request for information form at setonhill.edu/undergradtransfer.

• Help you choose courses at your current school that will meet the requirements for a degree at Seton Hill if you plan to transfer in the future. To request free transfer counseling, just send us an email to admit@setonhill.edu with the subject line: Request for Transfer Counseling.

Transfer up to 90 Credits to Seton Hill

It’s possible to transfer up to 90 credits to Seton Hill. The amount you will be able to transfer will depend on your major and the courses you’ve taken already. (Our free credit evaluations and transfer counseling will help you figure this out.)

To earn a baccalaureate degree from Seton Hill, a transfer student must:

• Take at least half of your major’s courses at Seton Hill.

• Earn your last 30 credits at Seton Hill.

If you select a minor, at least one half of the required credits for the minor must be taken at Seton Hill.

What’s It Like to Be a Student at Seton Hill?

SUPPORTED & SAFE

Our hilltop campus and small town location make Seton Hill a safe place to live and learn. We have our own campus police and free health, counseling and disability services for students.

COZY

Our residence halls are modern, comfortable and close to academic buildings, the McKenna Center (which includes a free fitness center) and playing fields. Our dining hall and cafes serve everything from Starbucks coffee to food grown right here on the Hill.

FUN

On-campus activities include everything from our 21 NCAA DII sports teams to student social clubs and intramurals to formal traditional events like Christmas on the Hill. It’s easy to jump on a campus shuttle to get off-campus and visit coffee houses, shops and restaurants in Greensburg. And Pittsburgh is only 35 miles away.
