Courses taken at a local college will often transfer to Houghton.  In order to transfer the course must be taken at a regionally accredited institution.  Courses must also be 100 level or higher and a grade of C- or higher must be earned.  Courses may transfer toward integrative studies (general education), major or minor requirements, or may count as electives.
