University Transfer

For International Students

International University Transfer

At Shoreline Community College, students can complete the first two years of their Bachelor’s degree in over 90 areas of study. Then, with guidance from our expert academic advisors, Shoreline students transfer to top universities across the United States where they complete their second two years and earn their degree. It’s as simple as 2+2.

 
When I started applying to four-year universities, the advisors at Shoreline encouraged me to apply to schools that I never thought I would get into. Through their support and encouragement, I was accepted into engineering programs at Purdue, Georgia Tech, Arizona State, and University of Washington. Looking back, I wouldn't be where I am today without Shoreline.

I love the green campus and how accessible it is even though it's not located in downtown Seattle. I also love the teachers and the friendly employees, especially the International Education Department! Without their help and support, I don't think I would have been able to get a 100% acceptance rate to all the schools I applied to transfer to.

Shoreline has great advisors and they help us with every step in university transfer, including major exploration and course planning. I wouldn't get admitted to my dream universities without their help! When I had many questions with different academic plans because of uncertainties in this global pandemic, my advisor was always here to answer my questions with a lot of patience.
