CCV Health Science (AS) to VTSU Health Science, Health & Wellness Coaching (BS)

Catalog Year: 2026-2027

Program Code: S.BS.HLT.HWC.PTH

This transfer pathway will help you plan courses at the Community College of Vermont (CCV) that will meet course specific requirements at Vermont State University (VTSU).

CCV and VTSU are both a part of the Vermont State College System (VSCS). Students have one common VSCS transcript. As such, courses taken at CCV are not considered transfer credit.
VTSU is a partner in the Vermont Transfer Guarantee, https://ccv.edu/academics/transfer-from-ccv/vermont-transfer-guarantee/
Students who have completed an associate degree at CCV will have completed all associate-level general education requirements at VTSU.
VTSU accepts all general education credits and associate’s level VSCS graduation standards from CCV.
Transfer courses from regionally accredited institutions will be accepted if grades are C- or better.

Join this transfer pathway by completing the CCV to VTSU Pathways Form.
