Eligibility requirements

  • You must be admitted as a Strayer student and enrolled in a bachelor’s degree program.

  • No-cost gen eds through Sophia only apply to bachelor’s degree programs. Sophia does not offer courses at the graduate level.

  • If you have reached your transfer credit limit, you will not be eligible to transfer in Sophia courses.

  • To transfer, Sophia courses must be equivalent to the Strayer courses in your degree program. If in doubt that a class will transfer, speak with a coach before enrolling.

  • Credits will be awarded toward your degree upon completion of the Sophia course and with a score of 70% or better.
