Harvey Mudd College welcomes applications from students who are looking to transfer from a 2-year or 4-year college or university. Prospective students are eligible to apply as a transfer if they will have completed two or more terms of academic work (in good standing) at a recognized institution of higher learning by the term of entry they are applying for.

The transfer application process is highly selective with only about 10% of the completed applicants being granted admission.

A competitive Harvey Mudd College Transfer Applicant:

• Will have completed a significant amount of courses that are compatible with our Common Core Curriculum. Please review the HMC Catalogue
• Exhibits a genuine desire to take advantage of the HMC and Claremont College community beyond the academic offerings.

Harvey Mudd College is the right fit for you if:

• You will have completed a significant amount of courses that are compatible with courses in our curricular requirements regardless of your past academic experience.
• You are interested in a well-rounded, Liberal Arts education. HMC is not a pre-professional program, a technical institute, or a school that allows students to specialize and take courses exclusively in a single discipline for 2-3 years.
• You are willing to complete at least 2 years as a full time student at HMC (this is a requirement).
• You are interested in joining a residential campus community. Living on campus is not required but 99% of our students live on campus all 4 years.
