Congratulations on your Associate's Degree!

Have you already earned your associate’s of art or associate's of science? We’re excited for you! That’s an amazing accomplishment – and with that, you can take the next step in less than 2 years time. Heidelberg transfer students with a pre-existing associate’s degree from an accredited institution can finish their bachelor's degree in the same major in only 60 credit hours.

Some universities don’t give you credit for your existing degree, and have mountains of paperwork to prove yourself. But Heidelberg University honors the work you put in and will give you all the credit you’ve earned. We want to provide you more opportunities to expand on that degree, without the barriers and red tape.

You already did the work, so now all you have to focus on is earning your bachelor’s degree.

What programs are available through Open Transfer?

As an Open Transfer student, do I qualify for scholarships?

YES! First-Time Transfer Students with an Associate's Degree are eligible for:

$20,000 Presidential Scholarship
$17,000 Dean's Scholarship
$15,000 Faculty Scholarship
$10,000 Academic Award

What is the cost of undergraduate tuition?

At Heidelberg University we believe students from all economic backgrounds should have the opportunity to invest in an education that will empower their future. Over 97% of Heidelberg students receive some form of financial assistance.

The Financial Aid Office provides financial assistance and related resources to help students and their families determine the best approach for covering the cost of their education. Financial aid is available based upon your need, determined by information provided on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
