Core Equivalencies for Transfer Students

Core credits for transfer students are determined by two things: a student’s specific course work and the total semester hours transferred in by the student. No core credit is given for Advanced Placement or College Level Examination Program course work. Other credit is often given, however for Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate course work; please see Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate Programs in the Admission section.

Core Credits Through Study Abroad or as a Transient Student

Every student attending an Oglethorpe approved semester or year abroad will receive
credit for one semester of the junior year core – either Historical Perspectives on the Social Order I or II – the student may choose.

Once a student enrolls at Oglethorpe, core credit may not be earned through study as a transient student at other institutions; for example, no summer school credit from another university.
