Recommended Courses for Transfer Applicants
William & 玛丽 recommends that students interested in transferring to the university take challenging courses in the liberal arts and sciences. Typically, our most competitive transfer applicants have a GPA of 3.5 or higher at their current institution and have taken rigorous transfer-oriented coursework in the past year.
Competitive transfer applicants typically have completed the following courses:
- Mathematics such as quantitative reasoning, statistics or calculus
- Natural sciences (with the associated laboratory) such as biology, chemistry, geology or physics
- Social sciences such as economics, psychology, sociology and political science
- World cultures and history
- Literature and history of the arts
- Intensive writing or advanced composition/rhetoric courses
- Creative and performing arts
- Philosophical, religious and social thought
Note: Unless students have completed the fourth level in high school of a single foreign language or demonstrated proficiency through SAT II subject tests by achieving the minimum score required to grant college credit, they must satisfactorily complete a fourth-semester course (202 level) to meet the graduation requirements at William & 玛丽 (this is not an admission requirement).
