Why Transfer to Russell Sage College?

We’ll take your credits: Transfer up to 75 credits.

Guaranteed scholarships: Merit scholarships start at $17,500 per year guaranteed for up to three years with more aid available based on financial need or other factors.

Professors love to talk to prospective transfer students: Want to dive deeper into the curriculum or get to know the faculty before you decide? We can connect you with our professors during the admissions process.

Want to live on campus (or at least eat there)? No housing waiting lists here. And we consider commuter students in our meal plans so you can grab a bite to eat before classes without having to buy a large plan.

We’ve have a top nursing program: With more than 100 years of history, a state-of-the-art simulation lab, and a special partnership with Albany Med Health System, there’s a reason our name is synonymous with nursing. And unlike many other colleges and universities, we’re transfer friendly for nursing students with a GPA requirement of 3.0.

Your experience counts: We recognize students come to us with employment, military, community service, or personal life experience that has given them expertise in certain areas. We offer the opportunity for Credit for Prior Learning (CPL) if students demonstrate college-level learning through a written portfolio.

Outstanding master’s degree programs: Transfer here and stay here for any of our two dozen graduate degree programs, which are competitively priced – even with public universities. You might even be able to start some of those courses while finishing your bachelor’s degree.
