Transfer Students
CityU Loves Transfer Students. And Transfer Students Love CityU.
Our student body is comprised of students who had previously attended some of the most prestigious and innovative universities in the country.
In fact, The Chronicle of Higher Education has recognized CityU as having one of the largest percentage population of graduate transfer students in the entire country.*
But it isn’t just graduate students. CityU students at all levels have chosen us after starting their education at diverse schools across the world. Some of the schools students have left in order to enroll at CityU include:
Antioch University
Arizona State University
Bellevue College
Benedict College
Brigham Young University
Brown University
Central Seattle Community College
Central Washington University
Columbia University
Cornell University
Eastern Washington University

Students have come to us because they were not getting what they needed elsewhere. Actually, most of our student body started elsewhere and transferred to CityU. But no matter where you’ve attended before, we want to help you graduate from CityU.
