You’re ready for the next step, or you need a change. We’re here to help.

Students say “community” is one of the best things about Northwestern. The college is a comfortable size, and our students, faculty and staff are exceptionally personable—both of which enable us to help make your transition as a transfer student as easy as possible. Plus, you'll graduate with a degree from a college recognized for its academic excellence.

On average, between 50 and 60 students transfer to Northwestern each year. Northwestern will accept a maximum of 62 credits from a two-year institution. We also readily accept students who have earned any number of credits or even an A.A. or B.A. degree from an accredited institution. To be accepted, transfer students must have a cumulative GPA of 2.25 or higher and be in good standing at the institution from which they are transferring. Provisional acceptance is occasionally granted to students without a 2.25 GPA.

In order to be eligible for a degree from NWC, students must complete at least their final 30 credits at NWC. To find out which and how many of your previously earned credits will transfer—with no obligation to enroll—send an official transcript and catalog course descriptions of the courses you’ve taken to:
