Exploring Transfer Program at Vassar College: Applications Due by March 6

"Exploring Transfer" is an intensive five-week academic program on the campus of Vassar College that is designed for first generation college students who would not normally consider application to a selective four-year liberal arts institution.  The program will be offered this summer from June 21 to July 28.

Students in the program take two courses co-taught by Vassar and community college faculty, and receive the equivalent of at least six credits at Vassar.  Students must live on campus for all five weeks, and Vassar pays all room, board, tuition, and book cost

Preferential consideration will be given to applicants who have a cumulative GPA of at least a 3.0, completed Freshman English I with a solid grade, and are a first-generation college student.
