Transfer Programs

Your guide to transferring your Rochester Community and Technical College credits or A.A. degree toward a bachelor’s degree. Your earned credits, work experience, and military service may all be applied toward one of Saint Mary’s bachelor of science degree programs.

The Saint Mary’s Transfer Advantage

You need 120 credits to earn the bachelor of science degree, including a minimum of 36 credits from Saint Mary’s. The remaining general education credits can be completed at Saint Mary’s, or transferred from other sources, such as Saint Paul College.
