转移计划和资源

It is never too early to start planning for transfer. 事实上, 我们建议学生在第一学期学习时与转学顾问会面, if they are planning on transferring to a four-year college or university. 虽然有些学生在哈德逊山谷社区学院开始他们的教育时已经有了明确的转学计划, 其他人可能不那么确定. No matter where you fall in this continuum, 职业和转学中心可以帮助你实现你的长期教育目标.

Transfer planning involves a series of steps, 转学顾问可以帮助你顺利完成这个过程. 下面是一些你可以遵循的成功转到四年制大学的指导方针.

与转学顾问会面

即使是最独立的学生也可以从与转学顾问会面中受益,在转学过程的各个阶段获得帮助. You can meet with one of our professional staff, 一对一的, during a scheduled appointment to address any of your transfer needs. 学生s are also seen on a walk-in basis, pending the availability of a counselor, to answer quick questions related to transfer. To schedule an appointment, stop by the office or contact us by phone.

确定你的职业目标

成功的转学计划的第一步是确定你的职业目标, since transfer planning is inherently tied into career planning. If you are undecided about a career path, 我们建议你立即开始自我评估/职业探索过程. You can do this independently 或者在咨询师的帮助下. For additional career information and services, students are advised to visit the 职业和转学中心.

选择专业

Deciding on a major is easier, once you have determined your career goals. However, you will need to consider two questions:

  1. 在这所四年制大学里,什么专业适合为我选择的职业道路做准备?
  2. 相应的哈德逊山谷专业是什么,可以最大限度地将学分转移到所选择的四年制课程中?

有时候,这些问题的答案并不像看起来那么明显.

For example: a student who wants to pursue a bachelor 学位 in accounting. One might assume that the Hudson Valley's Accounting A.A.S. program would be the appropriate major. However, in most cases, it is our Business 政府 A.S. 那将是最好的选择, since this program is specifically designed for transfer purposes. 在一般情况下, graduating with this 学位 will assure junior status at a four-year college, regardless of the desired business emphasis (e.g., accounting, marketing, management, or finance). 相比之下,我们的会计A.A.S. 该课程主要面向在会计领域寻求入门级职位的学生.

选择合适的课程

Once you have selected the appropriate major, 您可以通过适当的课程选择进一步最大化学分转移. 哈德逊山谷社区学院 has many formal 清晰度的协议 四年制大学, 这些协议通常详细说明了最佳转学的具体课程建议(特别是选修课的使用). In the absence of such formal agreements, 课程的选择最好通过咨询你所选择的四年制大学来决定. Check with a transfer counselor in our office for advisement in this area.

Transfer and General Education Requirements

几乎所有的学院和大学都有所有学生必须完成的预定课程, in addition to their selected 学位 program requirements. 这些课程通常被称为通识教育或文科要求, and typically include courses in areas such as math, 科学, 人文社会科学.

在2000年秋天, 纽约州立大学为纽约州立大学系统内的所有学院和大学制定了普遍的通识教育要求. 符合纽约州立大学通识教育要求的课程在 大学目录.

我们鼓励计划转到私立或州外公立学院或大学的学生来见我们, 就像我们对其他学校在满足通识教育要求方面有指导方针一样.

调查学院/大学

选择转学学院/大学需要你将自己的目标和偏好与特定学院的特点进行比较. 学生s often don’t know how to begin the selection process. 请记住,仅仅因为一所学校被普遍认为是“好”并不意味着它一定对你有好处.

在研究四年制大学时, 你首先需要确定一所学校是否提供你想要的学习项目. Other factors to consider in the selection process include location, 成本, 大小, 认证评估, 教师/学生比, 地理区域(i).e., urban, suburban or rural), housing, etc. There are numerous resources available.

缩小选择范围

Once you have investigated transfer colleges suitable for your desired major, 尽快缩小你的选择范围以获得最佳的转会计划是很重要的. 如上所述, 你在哈德逊河谷的课程选择可能会根据每个转学机构的具体要求而有所不同. 一般来说,建议将你的选择范围缩小到三到五所学校. 虽然一到两所大学可能是你的理想选择,但重要的是要有一个后备计划. 在你的选择上要切合实际,尤其是在成本和GPA要求方面. 很明显, the higher your GPA is at Hudson Valley, the more choices you will have in transfer colleges.

如果可能的话, visit the campus of any college you are seriously considering, 和学生交谈, 教师, 招生顾问. Try to decide if you would be happy in this environment. 也, 通过查看我们的网站,了解您感兴趣的大学的招生代表是否计划访问我们的校园 事件日历. If so, plan to attend these scheduled visits.

决定何时转学

It is not necessary to complete your associate 学位 before you transfer, but in most cases it is beneficial to do so. 这条规则的例外是那些完成学位会导致大量损失转学分的情况. 否则, there are many advantages to completing your associate 学位, 转移前, 包括以下内容:

  • 节省学费
  • 结束感和成就感
  • 免除纽约州立大学申请费(可免费申请最多七所纽约州立大学学院)

  • 一些大学会对成绩为A的学生免除通识教育要求.A. 或者一个.S. 学位
