General admission as a transfer student requires a 2.0 cumulative GPA, but some majors do require a higher GPA.
Essays and recommendations are not required for transfer admission.
UBalt has rolling admission, which means there is no set deadline for application submissions and we will admit students until the class is full. However, you should apply as early as possible to ensure that you get the best consideration for scholarships and class availability.
Yes, if you have already earned 30 college credits, you can apply with coursework in progress rather than wait until the end of the current semester. Doing so is a great way to ensure that scholarship and grant funds are available and that you have the best selection of classes.
