The essentials

• Maestro College has credit transfer partnerships with two regionally accredited, Title IV eligible institutions with extensive online degree programs: Columbia College (Missouri) and Davenport University (Michigan).
• If you choose to transfer to Columbia College, 100% of the credits you've earned at Maestro College will transfer with you. How those credits apply to your new program will depend on the program you choose and Columbia College's transcript evaluation.
• If you choose to explore Davenport University, Davenport accepts all credits you've earned with a grade of C or better that apply to your program. Your transcript is reviewed individually, and admitted students receive a written transfer-credit evaluation or degree plan confirming exactly which credits are accepted and what remains, before making any decision.
• Maestro College students benefit from reduced tuition at both institutions: a partnership rate 15% below Columbia College's standard undergraduate tuition, and Davenport University's 32% tuition grant for online out-of-state students.
• Transferring is completely optional. This article is not a recommendation to transfer. It's here to help you understand your options and decide what feels right for you.
• If you'd like to explore an option, fill out the transfer request form for that institution: Columbia College transfer request
