The College of Southern Maryland has partnered with multiple institutions to allow our students the opportunity to participate in specialized pre-transfer programs. These are programs designed to provide our students access to opportunities and benefits while they are still at CSM. Students can apply for these programs for free while enrolled at CSM. Students do not commit to these institutions by participating in these programs, so if a student changes their mind there are no repercussions.
