Comm. College Transfer question!

Transfer Students
1

<p>I am currently enrolled at a Virginia Community College in a program for an Associate's in Business Administration.
I will complete the requirements for the degree next fall.
I am trying to transfer to William and Mary afterwards.</p>

<p>After I transfer I want to major in Philosophy and minor or double major in Physics.</p>

<p>However, I think it would be nice to complete some physics prereq's after i get my associates and before I transfer, and I will have already done my Lab science requirements for my associates.
That means if I take some extra Math and Physics classes it will be unrelated to my Associates.
Should I stay at my Community College and get some transferrable prereq's done for Math and Physics, or transfer and just do it there?</p>

<p>William and Mary transfers as many courses as you want, there's no maximum credits allowed when transferring.</p>

<p>The CC will obviously be cheaper.
I've always studied Philosophy on my own time, and have taken a couple classes at my CC in the subject. I had a change in heart recently and decided I wanted to major in philosophy and not Business Admin. I still want to complete my Business Associate's since Im so close to finishing.</p>

<p>What do you guys think as far as completing math/science prereq's before or after I transfer?</p>

<p>Talk this over with the advisors at your CC. Students change their majors and add new ones all the time. I have not heard that any of the CCs in VA require students to leave after X credits, or that the Us in VA refuse to admit students with more than Y credits. However since you want to attend a particular university, you need to know what that U expects you to do.</p>

<p>If you are receiving (or expect to receive) any financial aid, discuss your plans with the Fin Aid office. You can only receive Pell grants and federal loans for a certain number of semesters.</p>
