Eligibility

You will receive your admissions decision based on your unofficial transcript that you can upload through your application portal; you can upload an unofficial copy of your college transcript(s). You will receive your admissions decision based on your unofficial transcript(s); however, you will still need to send in your official college transcript(s) in order to receive formal credit evaluation and other advising related services.
If you have completed 12 or more college credits at another institution at the time of your application, you are considered a transfer student.
Most programs require a minimum 2.0 GPA for admission. However, a 2.0 GPA does not guarantee admission due to competition for available openings.
Transfer applicants who last attended college more than five years ago are evaluated according to motivation, life experiences, career advancement, and college transcripts.
If you are seeking a second bachelor's degree, you are considered a transfer student (unless the original degree is from Rowan). Rowan graduates seeking a second degree should follow the re-enrollment process.

How One Veteran Looks to Restore the Plant at Rowan

Zachary Rouhas transitioned from the Army to academia, enrolling in Rowan’s 4+1 BA/MBA joint degree program that blends environmental and sustainability studies with an advanced business degree — the only one of its kind in the state. “As a graduate in Environmental & Sustainability Studies, Rowan is really setting you up to work in a multitude of fields,” he says. "ESS isn't something that's offered in a lot of places, especially not with an advanced degree to finish a MBA. It's really the only opportunity in the area to get this experience."
