Broadview University Recognizes Successfully Completed Coursework
Saving Students Time And Money
SALT LAKE CITY, April 7, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Broadview
University recognizes that students' past educational experiences are
valuable regardless of where their journey began. According to the
National Association for College Admission Counseling, a third of
students transfer colleges or universities some time during the course
of their education. At Broadview University we believe students
shouldn't have to waste time or money by repeating successfully
completed college coursework, just because the course was taken at a
different school. That's why Broadview University has accepted more
than 31,000 credits from 451 institutions over the past five years.
"Since July of 2008, we have accepted credits totaling a value of more
than $12 million," says Dr. Mitch Peterson, director of institutional
quality and effectiveness for Broadview University. "That is an
average savings of more than $9,000 per transfer student."
Students who transfer colleges usually delay their graduation date by
losing about a semester of credits and having to unnecessarily repeat
college coursework, according to the organization Complete College
America. At Broadview University transfer students beginning school
between 2008 and 2013 earned, on average, 23 credits toward their
program at Broadview, saving about six months' time spent in the
classroom and keeping them on track to graduation day.
"It's our mission to educate, graduate and assist students in finding
successful careers," says Peterson. "Regardless of where or when their
college journey began, we give our students all of the resources
needed to be successful in their degree program through graduation
day-and beyond. This includes evaluating coursework completed at
previous institutions and awarding transfer credit for courses
relevant to a student's program at Broadview."
Let's finish what you started. Whether you're going back to school or
just beginning the college journey, Broadview University will support
you through graduation day-and beyond. To learn more about Broadview
