Northeastern’s College of Professional Studies makes the transfer process simple. To be admitted to one of our bachelor’s completion programs, simply provide:

  • A completed online transfer application: northeastern.edu/cps-applynow
  • One of the following:
    • Official college transcripts demonstrating completion of an AA/AS degree, or
    • Official college transcripts showing that you are registered and enrolled in your last academic term pending completion of your degree, or
    • Official college transcripts confirming completion of at least 60 semester course credits/90 quarter credits.

Transcripts reflecting a minimum cumulative GPA of at least 2.5/4.0.

*Note: If you have attended multiple colleges, please send along ALL of the official transcripts. Even if they are shown all on one transcript, we will need each individual transcript for each college attended. This will ensure the most transferable credits.
