美国转学在所有的大陆至海外的转学中大概占到了60%,夫子团队字2010年开始每年为约300名同学提供英文课程描述(course description/syllabus)的制作,这个比例也是通过实际计算得出的。
这里想说一下纽约大学(NYU)的转学。
NYU的特点:1. 地理位置位于世界顶级都市的纽约;2. 世界排名32位; 3. 极高的录取标准;4. 高达46,000美元/年的学费。前两个标准造就了NYU在同学心目中极高的地位,后两点则可以说是同学们希望转入NYU的动机。(转学分到美国的主要目的还是节省昂过的海外学费,如果减免一学年的学费,那么可以算一下,即节省了约28万元人民币的学费,当然还有因人而异的生活费,纽约的生活费还是可想而知的贵的)。
还是给同学们简单说一下纽约大学对于转学分的大致要求,NYU自己对于国际转学生要求还是比较明确的:
decisions are made on a case-by-case basis by the NYU school or college after a student is admitted. The Office of Undergraduate Admissions will not evaluate courses for possible transfer credit before a student is admitted to NYU. Freshmen are generally awarded a maximum of 32 credits upon arrival at NYU and transfer students are generally awarded a maximum of 64 credits upon arrival at NYU. Transfer students must typically take a minimum of 64 credits at NYU to obtain a bachelor's degree from NYU.
可以简单的理解为转学生最多的转学分上限在64学分,并且如果想拿到纽约大学的学位,那么无论怎么转,你都必须在转的学分以外,在纽约大学修够64个学分。
对于更具体的转学分要求,纽约大学是这么解释的:
Students may be eligible for transfer credit in courses taken for credit at an accredited college within the last ten years, provided the student earned a minimum grade of "C." Upon receiving an offer of admission, students will receive a detailed evaluation of transfer credit. All courses specific to a student’s intended major will be reviewed by the appropriate academic department. We are not able to evaluate coursework for transfer credit until an admissions decision is made.
第一点,关于多少分可以转学分,上面所说的“C”即是答案,C的含义夫子给同学们列了一个表,可以自己比对:
A+ |
4.3 |
91-100 |
Exceptional |
A |
4.0 |
85-90 |
Excellent |
A- |
3.7 |
80-84 |
Extremely good |
B+ |
3.3 |
77-79 |
Very good |
B |
3.0 |
74-76 |
Good |
B- |
2.7 |
70-73 |
Fairly good |
C+ |
2.3 |
67-69 |
More than adequate |
C |
2.0 |
64-66 |
Adequate |
C- |
1.7 |
60-63 |
Minimum for Good Academic Standing |
D+ |
1.3 |
57-59 |
Below good standing |
D |
1.0 |
54-56 |
Minimally acceptable |
D- |
0.7 |
50-53 |
Barely acceptable |
F |
0.0 |
0-49 |
Below university requirements |
第三点,课程描述提交之后,会送到相应的学院进行评估。根据以往的经验,转学分课程描述的评审时间在2-3个月是比较正常的。因此时间一定要留好富裕,课程描述也应该尽早准备。当然这个并不是单指纽约大学的转学,所有希望转学美国的同学,英文课程描述(course description/syllabus)的制作都是宜早不宜晚。
转学美国,转学纽约大学,祝你成功!
