Enrollment Type: Transfer

If you have attempted at least 18 credits at a regionally accredited college or university after high school, you must apply as a transfer student.  If you have taken less than 18 credits, or if any of your credits were attempted while still in high school, see freshman admission. To be considered for transfer admission, students must have earned an overall GPA of at least 2.0 (a higher GPA may be required for some majors). 

To apply:

  • complete the Penn State Undergraduate Admissions Application

  • have official transcripts from high school and all post-secondary schools attended sent to Penn State Erie, The Behrend College, Office of Admissions, 4701 College Drive, Erie, PA  16563

Important Information:

  • Courses considered for transfer credit must be completed with a grade equivalent to "C" or higher, and be useful to the program of study at Penn State.

  • Penn State operates on a rolling admissions basis.  Although there is no specified deadline to apply, it is strongly recommended that applications and official documents be submitted as early as possible.
