“Credit mobility should be a core design principle for serving adult learners, not a niche pathway,” said Devin Andrews, Vice President, Admissions & Evaluation. “At University of Phoenix, we’ve built policies, pathways and evaluation tools to help students preserve eligible transfer credit and credit for prior learning, understand their options early and keep moving toward degree completion with greater confidence.”<\/p>\n
Key Transfer Credit Facts<\/b><\/p>\n
New University of Phoenix data reflects the scale of an institutional model designed to help students preserve eligible academic credit and avoid unnecessary repetition:<\/p>\n
- \n
- More than 7 million transfer credits applied<\/b> towards degree requirements over the past eight years<\/li>\n
- Up to 87 transfer credits accepted for many bachelor’s programs<\/b>, with up to 90 credits for select programs<\/b><\/li>\n
- More than 500 active articulation agreements<\/b> with community colleges nationwide<\/li>\n
- Approximately $3 billion in estimated student tuition and fee savings<\/b> from avoiding previously completed coursework<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
These figures reflect the University’s ongoing efforts to reduce barriers for students with prior college experience and to treat transfer as an extension of student progress.<\/p>\n
What makes University of Phoenix transfer-friendly<\/b><\/p>\n
University of Phoenix supports transfer students through a coordinated combination of policies, evaluation resources, transfer pathways and student support designed to simplify credit review and improve transparency. Leveraging innovative technology to empower a seasoned team of specially trained evaluators, University of Phoenix provides information to create a smooth transfer experience. The University accepts eligible transfer credits from more than 5,000 accredited institutions and provides tools that help prospective students estimate how prior coursework may apply before enrolling.<\/p>\n
Resources available to prospective transfer students include:<\/p>\n
- \n
- A free preliminary credit evaluation<\/b> to estimate how prior coursework may apply, accessible online at phoenix.edu\/transfercredits<\/a>, via the TransferPath mobile app<\/a>, or by speaking to an enrollment representative<\/li>\n
- A Transfer Student Guide<\/b> designed to help students explore transfer-credit opportunities, save time and reduce education costs<\/li>\n
- A <\/b>Savings Explorer\u00ae tool<\/b><\/a> that helps students assess potential transfer-credit, prior-learning and scholarship-related savings opportunities<\/li>\n
- Transcript support<\/b> with the University requesting prior transcripts on a student’s behalf, when possible<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Together, these resources create an integrated transfer-credit experience designed to help students make informed decisions earlier, understand potential savings more clearly and avoid duplicating coursework.<\/p>\n
A credit-mobility model for adult learners<\/b><\/p>\n
University of Phoenix has also contributed to the broader higher education discussion around credit mobility<\/a>, especially for adult learners with some college and no degree. In its research<\/a> and public thought leadership<\/a>, the University has established credit mobility as a culture<\/a> built through flexible policies and programs, recognition of prior learning as a viable source of academic credit, clearer transfer outcomes and options, removal of barriers that affect student progression, and support services that help students act on those opportunities.<\/p>\n
This work aligns with the University’s mission to help working adults pursue educational pathways that fit their lives and build on the knowledge and experience they already have.<\/p>\n
How transfer credit can reduce cost and time to completion<\/b><\/p>\n
For many students, transfer credit can play a meaningful role in reducing the total cost of a degree and shortening the time required to complete it. By applying eligible transfer credits \u2014 and, where applicable, credit for prior learning \u2014 students can focus their time and resources on the remaining coursework needed to reach their goals.<\/p>\n
Adult learners returning to higher education often bring valuable prior learning with them. Universities serving working adult learners should work with students to help ensure they receive the eligible credit they deserve. At University of Phoenix, that commitment is reflected in transfer policies, evaluation resources and support designed to help students continue their progress toward degree completion.<\/p>\n
