Transferring Credits from Gutenberg College
Gutenberg College students do not make progress toward a degree by merely amassing credits; they make progress toward a degree by successfully completing all the required courses in the core curriculum. The work load of the Gutenberg courses has been expressed in credits for a number of reasons, one of which is to aid students who wish to transfer credits to another college. (See Course Requirements for the number of credits assigned to each Gutenberg College course.)
While several of Gutenberg's courses will have clearly equivalent courses at other colleges, other Gutenberg courses do not "translate" so well. The following chart lists approximate equivalents for three of Gutenberg's unique courses:
| Gutenberg course | Course Equivalent | Percentage |
| Year One & Year Two | ||
| Western Civilization | History | 25% |
| Art History | 15% | |
| Philosophy | 35% | |
| Literature | 20% | |
| Political Science | 5% | |
| Microexegesis | Philosophy | 50% |
| Theology | 35% | |
| Poetry | 15% | |
| Year Three | ||
| Great Conversation | History | 20% |
| Literature | 20% | |
| Philosophy | 20% | |
| Theology | 40% | |
| Microexegesis | Philosophy | 100% |
| Year Four | ||
| Great Conversation | Literature | 33% |
| Social Science | 33% | |
| Philosophy | 33% | |
| Microexegesis | Philosophy | 100% |
Transfer of credit from one college to another is always at the discretion of the receiving school and generally depends on comparability of curriculum and instruction. Gutenberg College will do what it can to help students transfer credits for their Gutenberg College work when entering another college. Upon request, Gutenberg College will prepare and forward a transcript of the student's record.
