Major Maps

Transfer Maps

By using transfer major maps, community college students are able to engage in academic and career exploration while gaining experience in their prospective field of study at VCU, ultimately graduating on time, with minimal debt, and the greatest professional success.

Please let us know about your plan to follow a transfer map.  Submit a Transfer Advising Request and review our Transfer Planning Checklist.

We recommend that community college students follow the course plan of the transfer maps and complete the requirements of either the associate degree or the Uniform Certificate of General Studies before enrolling at VCU.  By completing one of these credentials before enrolling at VCU, students may be eligible for guaranteed admission to the university and a waiver of VCU’s general education requirements.

The course recommendations in the transfer maps are based on students completing those courses at the community college.  Use our course equivalency table to check how courses you’ve completed at other institutions will transfer to Virginia Commonwealth University.  Virginia community colleges are listed under “VA Community College System.”  VCU will evaluate credit awarded for other sources of prior learning credit - Advanced Placement (AP), Cambridge International Exams, College Level Examination Program (CLEP), International Baccalaureate (IB), and military credit - according to VCU's policy on Additional sources of academic credit.
