GENERAL UNIVERSITY REQUIREMENTSAll transfer applicants must have satisfied the state of Florida’s world language admission requirement by having earned two sequential units in one world language in high school OR successfully completed the second elementary/beginner course in college.

All transfer applicants must have demonstrated college-level proficiency in English and mathematics by having successfully completed (with a grade of C or higher) a minimum of three semester hours of approved college-level English composition AND successfully completed a minimum of three semester hours of approved college-level mathematics.

All transfer applicants must be in good academic standing at their last institution (a minimum of 2.0 GPA or higher). Very few students are admitted with a GPA below 3.0.

MAJOR REQUIREMENTSIn addition to meeting the general university requirements, applicants must meet the specific requirements established for their desired major. The Academic Program Guide (academic-guide.fsu.edu) provides detailed major/program descriptions, a term-by-term academic map for each major/program, and career information associated with different degrees.

Transfer admission is a holistic and selective process, and no single criterion guarantees admission. We consider all the information you submit with your application, and we carefully review your academic record to ensure you are prepared for the academic rigor at Florida State University. Some colleges and departments limit the number of students they admit to their programs; thus, it is important that you review the Academic Program Guide at academic-guide.fsu.edu for detailed information about program deadlines, required pre-requisite courses, audition dates, portfolio requirements, etc., before you start your application process. Students are expected to meet all general University requirements and major-specific requirements.
