Transfer Admissions

If you've spent a year or more at another college and come to the conclusion that MIT would be a better fit for you, we welcome you to apply as a transfer student. Although spaces are very limited, transfer students are especially welcome on campus for their fresh perspective, maturity and focus.

Regardless of when you come on board, MIT offers boundless opportunities and possibilities for growth and exploration. Though we can welcome only a few transfer students each year, they bring a unique perspective and understanding to life along the Infinite Corridor.

Transfer students can apply for entry in September (open to all students) and February (for US citizens and permanent residents only). We will not consider applications for a second bachelor's degree.

Here are the applications and information you'll need to find out about the possibility of transferring to MIT.
