Transfer Credits
There are many sources from which you may transfer credit into the Adult Undergraduate Programs at Judson University. Unlike many other schools, we will not make you retake credits that you’ve earned from other accredited institutions which apply to your general education or elective requirements.
You may have college credit that you may not be aware of, perhaps even through military experience or possibly even vocational training.
