Transfer to the Wheelock College of Education & Human Development
In the Wheelock College of Education & Human Development we have many pathways to help you reach your goals of becoming an educator. We work individually with each of our transfer students to discuss the transition to Boston University. Additionally, our Transfer Mentor Program matches each incoming transfer student with a current BU student who previously transferred to the Wheelock College of Education & Human Development. Through the Transfer Mentor Program, students can more seamlessly transition to social life on campus and also have a built-in peer resource for any questions about BU.

Advice from Students Who Have Transferred to Wheelock
Name: Noah Segal
Major: Severe Special Education
Hometown: Wyckoff, New Jersey
Why I Chose to Transfer: “I chose to transfer to BU because I was ready to be challenged by more rigorous courses, explore a variety of extracurricular opportunities, and navigate my way through a new city.”
My Advice for Prospective Transfer Students: “As you visit prospective schools, my advice would be to ask questions. No question is dumb if it is important to you. If you don’t feel comfortable asking questions in person, or think you might have questions in the future, ask a current student for their email. Although not every student at BU is a transfer, everyone was new to the school at one point in time, so they have an understanding of the position that you are in.”
