Welcome Saint Joseph’s College students!

We want to offer our help in making sure that your transfer to Goshen College is as easy and seamless as possible during this difficult time, and are committed to providing as much support as possible so that every Saint Joseph’s College (SJC) student can complete his or her college degree, with little disruption. We hope you will find Goshen College to be the right fit for your next steps.

Promises we make to you for 2017-18 transferring:

  • Pending final approval from the Higher Learning Commission, we will offer a “teach out” option that would allow you to receive a degree from SJC if you so desire and if you have earned 90 or more credit hours.
  • In addition to offering our special academic scholarships for transfer students, we will offer a $2,500 scholarship just for students transferring from SJC.
  • We are prepared to maximize the transferability of your credits and assist you in creating a plan of study to meet graduation requirements.
  • We will offer you preferential transfer status by waiving the application fee and offering rapid transcript evaluation.
  • Student-athletes: Our coaches are looking forward to meet with you to explore the opportunity to join one of our 16 athletics teams that compete in the NAIA Crossroads League. Learn more about our exciting athletics program at goleafs.net.
