PREPARING FOR A SUCCESSFUL TRANSFER.

Transferring to UMBC is a great way to continue your education and launch your career, but we also know that the transfer process can be confusing, so we’ve created a variety of resources and tools to help you navigate your transfer smoothly and with confidence.

Transfer Central

We know that three of the most asked questions regarding transfer are: How will my credits transfer? How long will it take to graduate? and How much will it cost? That’s why we’ve created Transfer Central. Rather than simply giving you a list of the courses that typically transfer to UMBC, we’ve gone a step farther. This interactive tool will give you real-time credit estimates, best-fit major recommendations, and access to important dates, milestones, and transfer resources that you’ll need along the way.
