Bridgewater State University welcomes approximately 1,000 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.
Transferring was a very easy process and when I got to Bridgewater, I loved it. All of the professors were really good and supportive. I’m coming back to get my master’s at Bridgewater because since day one everyone welcomed me.
