Castleton State College

Why Castleton?

CCV students transfer to Castleton State College because of the quality education they will receive through Castleton's strong core foundation in the liberal arts, coupled with over 30 programs, including science or professional degree options. Transfer students appreciate the small class size and the learning relationships they develop with their professors, who are experts in their fields and who care about student success.

Through a transfer agreement between Castleton and CCV, any student who graduates from CCV is guaranteed admission to Castleton. Students do need to apply, but there is no application fee. A few Castleton programs, such as nursing and music, have more restrictive admissions requirements.

All credits will be accepted and applied to the student's major as appropriate, then to Castleton's general education requirements, and finally to the electives that fill out a degree. Getting the balance exactly right can be tricky, but if you are thinking of Castleton, you have the advantage of gaining academic advice while you are at CCV that will allow you to make the most of your time at both colleges.

Castleton and CCV have also developed pathway plans for six popular majors so that students who follow the prescribed plan will not need to take more than 64 credits at Castleton to earn a bachelor’s degree.

Castleton works closely with CCV and encourages CCV graduates to continue at Castleton. CSC faculty have learned that CCV graduates are capable of becoming some of Castleton's most successful students and alumni. They will make the most of a Castleton education and will contribute in and outside the classroom.
