How long will it take me to complete my degree?

Each student's path is different, and we will review your past coursework to give you an estimate of what your time to completion would look like.

Yes! The majority of our transfer students are awarded scholarships based on their academic history. Merit-based scholarships are awarded to students who have at least a cumulative 2.3 GPA and have earned at least 12 college credits.

Can I work while completing my degree?

Most undergraduate courses are offered Monday-Friday during the day. But your schedule could allow you to work on campus or off campus during the weekends and in the evening.

“I wanted to come to Alverno because the staff and professors are very involved in making sure you succeed. Alverno offered me a scholarship for my grades at my previous school. I felt that my hard work had paid off, and that Alverno noticed and rewarded me. With that, I knew I had the support I was looking for in a school.”
