Transfer Experience

Design Your Life: Transfer Edition

Join a class where every student shares the experience of transferring into Carlson. Together, you get to explore your interests, build connections, and gain practical tools to design your academic, career, and personal journey, all with the support of instructors who understand the unique transfer perspective.

Transfer Carlson Crew Leaders

Start building your Carlson community from day one with the help of our Transfer Crew Leaders. These upper-division student mentors, many of whom transferred themselves, are here to share their experiences, offer insider tips, and help you feel connected and supported as you transition into Carlson.

Transfer Welcome Day

Kick off your Carlson experience with a day designed just for transfer students. Meet your new community, explore career resources tailored to transfer success, discover study abroad opportunities, and get to know Carlson through an insider tour, all before classes even begin.

Unique Study Abroad Option for Transfer Students

Build lasting connections and fulfill your international experience requirement while shaping your Carlson experience on a two-week adventure across Japan. Travel with a close-knit group of transfer students as you explore Tokyo’s energy, Kyoto’s history, and Okinawa’s island culture while you build friendships and develop global perspectives along the way.

This unique experience is tied to Design Your Life and requires a separate application before you enter Carlson.
