About

Take courses at Bow Valley College and transfer them to a university. These courses can may be used to meet university admission requirements, and may also be used towards your degree goals.

Where can I go after taking University Transfer courses?

You can apply to any university after taking University Transfer courses. For example, you can apply to University of Calgary or Mount Royal University as a post-secondary transfer student.

You can transfer into St. Mary’s University’s Bachelor of Arts – General Studies three-year degree after taking your first year of courses here at Bow Valley College.

You can transfer to MacEwan University’s Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree programs after taking your first one or two years of courses here at Bow Valley College.

Some universities require specific high school courses for admission, so we recommend you speak with your destination university to learn more about their admission requirements and procedures.
