Students who have graduated from high school or have earned their GED and have attended a regionally accredited two- or four- year college are encouraged to apply for transfer student admission to Bridgewater College. Apply online at bridgewater.edu/admissions.
 
Transfer students applying for admission must have a cumulative grade point average of 2.2 or above on all college level work and be in good standing at the college they are attending. A maximum of 68 credit hours will be accepted from a two-year college.
 
Credentials collected for admission include:
 
  1. Official final high school transcript with graduation date
