<p>Hi! I was recently informed that at some colleges if you go into a fine arts major your dual credit credits won’t transfer over. I’m currently a junior in high school wishing to go into film and I’ve already taken three dual credit classes. I was going to continue, but I was wondering if anyone has had this problem and if there is a way to work around it or am I just wasting my money with the dual credit?</p>
<p>You point out yourself - “some colleges.” It depends on the school. Look at the policy for specific schools you might be interested in.</p>
<p>It’s likely that your dual-credit courses won’t transfer all that easily anyway. I want to be a math major and several colleges have told me my courses from a state university won’t transfer for various completely arbitrary reasons. (Luckily, they’re free in my state.) It’s best to go into it assuming stuff won’t transfer.</p>
<p>It’s especially unlikely that your courses will transfer if:
- you’re trying to transfer them to an OOS school or a private school
- they were taken in a high school building and taught by a high school teacher
- they appear on your high school transcript
- they were used to meet graduation requirements</p>
