Highlights

• Where do CSM students transfer?

  In 2007, more than 3,700 students were enrolled in transfer degree programs at CSM.  During the Fall Semester, over 1200 of them transferred successfully to 197 four-year schools in 41 states.  Out-of-state transfer destinations included Harvard University, Virginia Polytechnic and State University, Clemson University, George Washington University, Florida Institute of Technology, University of Hawaii at Manoa, Carnegie Mellon University, North Carolina A&T University and many more.

• Don’t waste your hard, earned college credits!

  If you are looking to transfer to another university after CSM, you need to register for the Student Success course, Transfer Preparation (STU 1090).  Too many students find they have wasted time and effort on a course that will not transfer to their transfer university or perhaps was not applicable to their program of study.  Don’t make the same mistake! 

  Register for STU 1090 and learn to develop an individual transfer portfolio. This course gives you the tools and resources to make the most of your experience here at CSM to transfer to another college of university for your bachelor’s degree.

  Don’t wait – register today and make the most of your educational experience here at CSM.
