With our generous credit transfer options designed around the needs of adult learners, you can earn your college degree even faster, saving valuable time and money.
Why Transfer Your Credits to TESU?
Flexible, accredited, career-focused programs and flexible credit transfer options are just two of the many reasons why for more than 50 years adult learners have chosen to earn their college degree at TESU. Whether you’re looking to advance in your current field or transition to a new career, we offer ways to earn credit for your college-level knowledge, saving you time and money in the long run.
Our Credit Transfer Policy
With one of the most flexible transfer credit policies in the country, you may be able to transfer up to 90 credits earned at an accepted institutionally accredited community college or fulfill all your degree requirements with transfer credit from a four-year institution. Our Academic Advisors are available to evaluate your previously earned credits and determine where they fit into earning your college degree at TESU.
How to Transfer Your Credits
TESU offers a full evaluation of your credits from accepted institutionally accredited community colleges or four-year institutions when you apply. Our academic advisors will evaluate official college transcripts to help you maximize your existing credits towards your degree.

Other Methods of Earning Credit
At TESU, we understand that as an adult learner you may be balancing multiple responsibilities, like working full time and caring for a family, while going to college. We can help put you on the path to success with a host of ways to earn college credit for what you already know. At TESU, we will evaluate your prior work experience, military service, professional training, licensure and accomplishments to see if they can be transferred into college credit — saving you time and money towards your degree.
