St. Scholastica offers several delivery systems to help transfer students earn a four-year degree with ease.
Transfer agreements

Get the credit
St. Scholastica will work to make sure your past college course work counts toward your current educational goals.

Furthermore, St. Scholastica has a number of both graduate and undergraduate programs that are offered exclusively online.
Health Science Center
With well-established roots in health care education, St. Scholastica continues to build on its reputation of excellence in this area.
