How do these classes transfer? Baker classes have excellent transferability to colleges or universities across the country and in the state of Kansas. You can check the website for transferability or contact the school directly. Even though the classes will transfer to most colleges and universities, how it transfers to each individual school may be different. It would also be wise to research potential majors to see what class requirements you may need. This will help you better determine which classes you should take now while in high school.

Guidelines for selecting Concurrent College credits Sometimes “more” is just “more” Identify classes to transfer outside of your intended major Ex: Engineering major- social studies & english are good transfers Business Major- math, science, english, etc… You may not need 9 credits of social studies for college There is value in taking a difficult class in high school and then repeating it in college. (Think AP Chemistry?!? for pre-med. Great start to your college GPA) Bottom Line: There are no right or wrong ways to do this. These guidelines should help you make the best decision with the information you have at hand
