TRANSFER ADMISSIONS
Carson-Newman University wants to make transferring here simple and smooth. Our counselors want to meet with you and help you plan your transfer to C-N as soon as you are ready to start exploring it.
How Will Your Credits Transfer?
We want to honor the credits you’ve already worked so hard to earn.
Carson-Newman will receive any Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree earned from a regionally accredited institution in full meaning you’ve satisfied your Liberal Arts core at C-N met with the exception of three Carson-Newman specific classes. Our admission counselors are happy to help you see just how much progress toward your degree that you’ve already made and what classes you still need to finish your bachelor’s degree at C-N.
If you don’t have an associate degree, you will receive a class-by-class transfer evaluation and a personalized degree plan during your admission process.
Carson-Newman also recognizes and participates in the Tennessee Transfer Pathways program. You can learn more about the Tennessee Transfer Pathways and C-N here.
