My name is Angela Goodpasture, transfer admissions counselor here at Ferrum College. I am excited to tell you about our “Fast Track Policy” that will be effective immediately for any student wishing to transfer here to Ferrum College.

This policy states:
When a student who graduates from an accredited Virginia Community College with an Associate of Arts degree, an Associate of Science degree, or an Associate of Arts and Sciences degree transfers into Ferrum College, Ferrum College agrees that the student has satisfied the Liberal Arts Core requirements potion of its graduation requirements. If the student has not had a 3-credit Bible-based course as part of the Associate degree curriculum, then Ferrum College will require that the student successfully complete REL 111, 112, 113, or PHI 131. The student must satisfy all other graduation requirements including writing intensive, speaking intensive and experiential learning requirements.
The policy means that a graduate with an Associate degree in Arts, Sciences, or Arts and Sciences will be able to enter Ferrum College as a junior. We feel that this will help make for a smooth transition from Community College to Ferrum. It will also help transfer students focus on their intended majors as soon as they enter Ferrum College, as a result, reaching the goal of graduation in a timely manner.

If this something that may interest you, let us know. I would be happy to make arrangement for you to visit our campus, meet with me, and talk to a Financial Aid Counselor.
