Physics Transfer Information

This unofficial reference shows how COD physics and engineering courses transfer to various schools.

The information is kept as accurate and up-to-date as possible, but it cannot be considered a commitment on the part of the four-year school to accept particular COD courses for particular credit. It is best to meet with a faculty member at COD as well as at the institution to which you want to transfer.

Students interested in formal commitments on the part of four-year schools should (1) consult the IAI website for Illinois schools which are part of the Illinois Articulation Initiative (2) consult the documentation of the transfer school in question or (3) take the provided below directly to the transfer school for a one-on-one agreement for transfer credit.
