We’ll help you transfer college credits and line up financial aid and scholarships so you can transition effortlessly
Whether you’re making the transfer from a community college or another four-year program, Davenport University has a dedicated transfer admissions team to help you get the most transfer college credits, connect you with financial aid and provide the guidance you need every step of the way.
At Davenport, we offer multiple transfer pathways so you can make the most of your previous college credits.
And here’s what makes Davenport really stand out among other universities: We accept up to 90 transfer credits and offer ways for your full associate degree to count. Ask about our A2B offering, through which we accept your entire associate degree so you only have to take 60 more credits to complete a bachelor's degree.
If these options don’t fit with your transfer goals, you can customize your own transfer plan.
You can also carry in college credit from previous experiences like work, military service, projects, certifications and more.
Our experts are here to help you maximize your transfer college credits and apply them toward your Davenport degree so you can finish faster.
