Transferring Credits to Other Schools
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 (WCIV 101-203) | History | 25% |
| Art History | 15% | |
| Philosophy | 35% | |
| Literature | 20% | |
| Political Science | 5% | |
| Microexegesis (MXG 101-203) | Philosophy | 50% |
| Theology | 35% | |
| Poetry | 15% | |
| Year Three | ||
| Great Conversation (GCON 301-303) | History | 20% |
| Literature | 20% | |
| Philosophy | 20% | |
| Theology | 40% | |
| Microexegesis (MXG 301-303) | Philosophy | 100% |
| Year Four | ||
| Great Conversation (GCON 401-403) | Literature | 33% |
| Social Science | 33% | |
| Philosophy | 33% | |
| Biblical Philosophy (BPH 401-403) | Theology | 100% |
Transfer of credit from one college to another is always at the discretion of the receiving school and generally depends on comparability of curricula and may depend on comparability of accreditation. 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.
