<p>I was thinking about going to prince George’s community college for 2 years. Then transferring to university of maryland and applying to criminology. Any advice/ should I take this path?</p>
<p>I knew many people did that path and they are fine.
Some transfered after 1 year.</p>
<p>That could work well, but be aware that transferring credits might, or might not, be a problem. Look into that before making a decision.</p>
<p>Some state universities will accept all, or most, credits from in-state community colleges. Depends on the state. I do not know about Maryland. Their website should address this issue.</p>
<p>Also, make sure that the courses you take at CC are as close as possible to what you would take at U.Maryland. </p>
<p>Sounds good, I think I’ll take this path since I wasn’t able to get in normal due to my low SAT score </p>
<p>Kaelan21, most UMD majors should have online a sheet with sample courses someone in that major would take each semester. do the same when you’re at CC. there won’t be many courses at UMD those first years that the CCs won’t have. when you compare the courses taught at each school, you do so by reading the descriptions of the courses in the course catalogues. They’re online. You keyword-for-keyword compare what they say about what the course is trying to accomplish. And you compare if they are 1 or 2 semester courses and how many credit hours they were. Keep copies of your syllabi from the school from which you’re transferring so that you can show the UMD advisors just what you were doing in that course.</p>
<p>This website tells you exactly what classes will transfer to UMD from other colleges and CCs: <a href=“http://www.tce.umd.edu/master.html”>http://www.tce.umd.edu/master.html</a></p>
<p>Thanks guys. Any idea what my academic interest should be for the community college? And would I set continuing education level or undergraduate level</p>
<p>does the cc have a sociology/social sciences interest? set for undergraduate level. </p>
