FAQ
Questions About Our Program
Will I be able to transfer Woodmont College credits to other institutions?
Our courses conform to high academic standards and are acceptable to a large number of colleges. Some institutions that accept our credits include Touro University Worldwide (Touro online), CUNY, YU, NYU, Rutgers, Princeton, and University of Maryland.
The transferability of all college credits, however, is solely at the discretion of the receiving institution. Woodmont can’t guarantee that you’ll be able to transfer your credits, and it’s each student’s responsibility to confirm whether or not your credits will be accepted by the institution of your choice.
Can I transfer Judaic Studies and other previously-earned credits to Woodmont College?
We’re pleased to provide a generous credit-transfer policy. Up to 75% of another program’s credits can be transferred to Woodmont College.
Woodmont College accepts credits that meet the school’s standards. Classes offered by accredited institutions, some Israeli yeshivos and seminaries, and some advanced high school courses might offer credits. Schools that signed an articulation agreement with Woodmont College may offer Woodmont College credits for some of their courses.
You can transfer credits earned from other postsecondary institutions, but only after they’re confirmed and validated by our academic department and deemed appropriate for our program.
You can also earn credits after passing college-approved challenge examinations or standardized tests in specific subjects. You can potentially transfer up to 30 credits earned through AP, CLEP, DANTES, StraighterLine, and TAL examinations, among others. Please contact admissions@woodmontcollege.edu for any specific questions you might have.
