Admissions Resources for Transfer Students

At Luther we place great importance on fulfilling the needs and expectations of our transfer students. We believe in providing the best possible environment for our students and take special steps to ensure that the transfer process is a smooth one.

The decision to transfer requires much soul searching and deliberation. Quite frequently it is a more difficult decision than the one that a high school senior faces when selecting a college.

We understand that difficulty and want to provide the most accurate information possible about Luther. We invite you to join us for a campus visit as your investigation begins and hope that you will find the following information helpful.

Students decide to transfer to Luther for a variety of reasons. Certain factors do stand out, however:

  • Luther's academic reputation and diverse curriculum
  • Importance placed on individual attention
  • Opportunity to join a community that welcomes participation in a variety of organizations and activities

Transfer students at Luther come from a variety of colleges and universities. Students from community colleges choose Luther as a logical step from a two-year to a four-year college. University students often choose Luther to receive the individual attention they deserve. Transfer students from other private colleges look to Luther for its balanced emphasis on academic, athletic, and social activities.

Every Life has a larger meaning. At Luther, we help you begin to find it.
