Transferring Credits

The credit transfer process will vary from student to student. While there is not a definitive way to determine what credits will transfer before you apply, we’ve provided a few examples and guidelines to help you know what to expect with your hard-earned credits:



Gen-Eds

A good rule of thumb to remember is that, generally, gen ed courses usually transfer over; standard course names such as Intro to Psychology, Intro to Sociology, English Composition, or Computational/Conceptual Math are considered gen ed.



AP and CLEP

Cairn accepts AP scores of 3 or above as transferable. Cairn will also accept CLEP tests that score a minimum of 50 points. Learn more about CLEP transfer credits here.



Bucks County Students

As a Bucks County student, we already have a transfer sheet built out just for you!

Spiritual Life

At Cairn University, we believe that Christ and His Word should be at the center of all that we do. We also believe that you don’t have to sacrifice academic excellence in order to study somewhere that will strengthen your faith. 

The Bible is integrated into every academic program at Cairn. You’ll take courses in Bible and theology, and that theology will be applied in every other course you take. You will also be given opportunities to grow outside of the classroom through weekly chapels, Bible studies, mission trips, service opportunities, and involvement in a local church.

Where We're Located

As a Cairn student, you have unlimited options for adventure. You’ll quickly find just how much there is to do from our suburban campus. In an hour’s time, you could be in the city, at the beach, or in the mountains. You can study in between classes at one of several local coffee roasters or by the lake at the park. 

And when you do want to take advantage of city life, you can walk .2 miles off campus to the train station that will take you into Center City or connect you to New York Transit, or even get you to Washington D.C

Not only does our location offer a variety of places to visit, your Cairn ID gives you discounts to a ton of local eateries and stores. Check out all the discounts you can get as a student here:
