Transfer Services

BSU welcomes approximately 1,500 transfer students each year — and we make every effort to streamline the process and get you settled in as a member of our community. At our dedicated Transfer Center, we’ll work with you to figure out how to transfer credits, which major to pursue and which courses to take next.

COVID-19 Update

We are here to help you. Transfer staff are working remotely at this time and are monitoring our emails and phone calls Monday-Friday 9 a.m.-5 p.m. so that we can support you. Virtual appointments are available. Please contact the Transfer Center at 508-531-2686 or email transfercentral@bridgew.edu with any questions.
