2011 Transferable Courses
BIG BEND COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Big Bend Community College courses that are similar to
Puget Sound courses numbered at the 100 or 200 level are
generally transferable. However, as transfer evaluations are
done in the context of each student's academic program, it is
possible for an evaluation to include courses not listed in this
guide as well as to exclude courses that are listed. Therefore,
students are encouraged to seek the advice of the Puget
Sound Office of Admission in selecting transfer courses,
especially those students who have selected a major. A
maximum of 96 quarter credits may be transferred, and all
courses are evaluated on a course-by-course basis.
Students should use the course listings in conjunction with the
Big Bend Community College 2010-2011 Course Catalog and
the University of Puget Sound Bulletin 2010-2011. This guide
is effective for the 2011 calendar year only and will be honored
until 2013.
placement, transfer credit may be adjusted and a student
required to complete appropriate courses in residence.
NOTE: These listings apply to regular course offerings
completed by regular college students. Courses offered in
other formats, such as programmed-learning, challenge
examination, distance-learning, online, or telecourses, may not
be transferable. Additionally, college credit earned prior to high
school graduation is subject to evaluation using both the high
school and college transcripts.
Because curriculum revisions may occur during the year, all
announcements are subject to change without notice. This
document does not create a contract between the university
and any student or community college.
Students with transfer credit questions should contact the
Office of Admission at 253.879.3211 or 800.396.7191.
This guide has two lists, one for courses that transfer as
