Transfer Students

Transfer to Hood College and keep your momentum—with generous credit transfer, a clear path to graduation, and a private education at a public price. Whether you’re coming from a community college or another four-year institution, we make it easy to continue what you’ve started—and finish strong. 

Transfer students are an important part of the Hood community, bringing perspective, purpose, and a clear sense of why they’re here. You’ll find a place where your work is recognized, your goals are supported, and your path to a degree is clear.

Each year, students choose Hood because they’re looking for more: more connection with faculty, more clarity in their academic path, and more confidence that their investment will pay off. Here, you won’t have to start over—you’ll build on what you’ve already accomplished, with the guidance and support to make your education—and your future—truly worth the work.
