Is it time to transfer? Here are some options for students considering transferring to the U.

Your U of U major is probably the biggest factor in determining when to transfer 

What's your U of U Major Going to Be?

The answer to this question is probably the biggest factor in determining when to transfer.

Articulated Majors

Some majors at the U have identified classes at institutions across the state that can clear requirements for their major.

This process is called "articulation." If the major you are interested in at the U is articulated at your school, then that means you will be able to take some major classes as part of your AA or AS degree.

Other Majors

Other U of U majors have few or no classes that are articulated at other Utah schools. This means that a student cannot be working effectively toward their major at the U while finishing up their AA or AS degree.

A transfer student interested in these majors who wants to be really efficient should consider transferring to the U with an Interstate Passport (or even sooner for some majors).

Length of Major

U of U majors vary in the number of credit hours they require to fill major requirements.

  • Programs like Business, Engineering, Pharmacy and Education require over 90 credit hours of major requirements
  • Programs like Psychology, Political Science, and English require 40 credit hours or less to fill major requirements

If the major you are interested in at the U is relatively short, it may not matter if the major requirements are articulated at your current school. You can wait to begin taking major requirements until you transfer to the U and still graduate in a timely manner.
