We know returning to school is a big decision. If you’ve taken some college courses in the past, they may count toward your bachelor’s degree at the University of La Verne. As an adult learner, you may be able to transfer credits from a variety of sources, including:
Credits From Previous College Coursework
The University of La Verne will accept up to a maximum of 88 transfer credits from a regionally accredited college or university toward a bachelor’s degree and 40 credits toward an associate’s degree.
