Direct transfer agreements

Saint Martin's University has a direct transfer agreement with the community colleges within the state of Washington. Students who receive their associate of arts or associate of arts and sciences degree from these community colleges will transfer to Saint Martin's with approximately 60-64 semester credits and all General Education Requirements fulfilled with the exception of a class in philosophy, which can be taken at the community college level, and a class in religious studies, which must be taken at Saint Martin's University.

The following are the University's General Education Requirements. Students transferring without an AA/AAS degree, or with an out-of-state AA degree, may have fulfilled some of these requirements through previous education. Saint Martin's will evaluate your transcript with you to determine which credits are transferable.
