Transfer to Valpo
Every year, Valpo eagerly welcomes approximately 200 transfer students. In fact, roughly 30% of our students enter as transfers. They come for our career-focused programs, our student-focused faculty, and our inclusive, supportive community, and they graduate ready to launch rewarding lives. Ready to be one of them?
We’ve made the transfer college application process as seamless and stress-free as possible. To start your journey, learn about our transfer admissions.
