Credit Transfer And Work Experience Credits

Students can complete their degree in lesser time by taking advantage of Carden Student Credit Transfer Program. This helps them continue their education program in a more flexible and affordable manner.

Carden students enjoy a shorter and more affordable route to graduation through credit transfer. Approximately 80% of bachelor's students receive transfer credit toward their program, with half of them bringing in more than 50 credits. Similarly, 70% of doctoral students use credit transfer to save time and money on their program, with over half receiving 25 - 50 transfer credits into their program. Except in the case of a combined degree, your master’s program is unable to accept transfer credits from your bachelor’s.

Save time and money on your Carden degree when you transfer credits from regionally accredited or internationally recognized institutions.
