At Carson-Newman University, we are committed to making your path to a bachelor’s degree as smooth and accessible as possible. Through a network of articulation agreements, Tennessee Transfer Pathways, and reverse transfer programs, Carson-Newman has partnered with community colleges and institutions across Tennessee and beyond to ensure that the credits you’ve already earned work for you. Whether you are transferring from a Tennessee Board of Regents institution, a partner college in another state, or looking to earn an associate degree while pursuing your bachelor’s, Carson-Newman offers flexible and clearly defined pathways designed to save you time, reduce unnecessary coursework, and keep you on track toward graduation. Explore the agreements and programs below to find the transfer option that best fits your educational journey.
Carson-Newman University has articulation agreements with the following institutions:
Walters State Community College — Morristown, TN
New Mexico Military Institute — Roswell, NM
Carson-Newman University has established transfer pathways agreements for students who complete an associate degree from a Tennessee Board of Regents (TBR) institution prior to beginning their enrollment at Carson-Newman University. Students who follow the prescribed pathway will streamline their educational journey and satisfy many components of their pursuit of a bachelor’s degree without taking additional unnecessary coursework. Following an articulation agreement or transfer pathway prior to admission will allow a student to graduate with a bachelor’s degree from Carson-Newman University upon completion of BTS 101, BTS 102 and LA-102, remaining courses required for the major, upper level and senior college credit requirements, and elective hours required to reach the 120 hours required for graduation from Carson-Newman.
Additional information on transfer pathways can be found on the Admissions website at this link: C-N Transfer Admissions and at TN Transfer Pathway
Participating institutions are listed below:
The University participates in the Tennessee Reverse Transfer program. This program allows a student who completes a minimum of 15 hours at a participating Tennessee Board of Regents (TBR) community college and who enrolls at Carson-Newman University before completing an associate degree to transfer their credits earned at Carson-Newman back to the community college. A reverse transfer potentially allows these students to be awarded an associate degree by their community college while also meeting bachelor’s degree requirements at Carson-Newman. For more information, see C-N Transfer Admissions.
