<p>My daughter in in the midst of a year off from RIT and will transfer out -- she was there for 2years but I'm worried about how many of her credits will actually transfer out ... She was in the Game Design major ... For financial reasons, she can't really afford to do more than a CUNY (local city university) so won't be able to get into a game design major as it doesn't exist.</p>
<p>Does anyone have any info on this?</p>

<p>Can she do a SUNY instead? Stony Brook is suppose to have a really good Comp Sci department, and I know they also have some Gaming courses (possibly for a specialization?). I also don’t know how much travel that would be for your daughter.</p>
<p>As far as transfer credits, I would have her get a copy of her transcript and ask the schools she is considering to evaluate it for her so she knows where she stands.</p>
<p>I know you mentioned financial reasons for attending a CUNY. Are there other reasons for leaving RIT? My son has applied to RIT and I feel it’s important to know the disadvantages of the school as well as the advantages.</p>
<p>Unfortunately game design is a very specific major, which means fewer credits will transfer to a school that doesn’t have a GD program. She will at least be able to get credit for any general CS or humanities and sciences that she did. Get a transcript from the university and send it to wherever she wants to go, they will tell you what they can transfer.</p>
