Transfer Students Criterion

The Teacher Academy welcomes transfer applications. You may apply as a transfer applicant if you are already a freshman or sophomore at Brooklyn College , or any other CUNY campus or any college outside of CUNY. If you are planning to transfer from another CUNY campus or college, you must first complete a transfer application to CUNY and pick Brooklyn College as one of your six choices. After you have received notification of your admission to Brooklyn College , you can download and complete the supplemental application below. We ask that you submit all current transcripts, two recommendations (one from a math or science teacher), and two essays along with the application. You may apply as a transfer applicant if you are a high school senior who has already completed an application to CUNY but has not completed a Teacher Academy application. If you completed a Teacher Academy application, you do not need to submit the supplemental application. If you are currently a Brooklyn College student, please download the supplemental application and complete as directed.

The Teacher Academy is a selective program. Transfer applicants to the Teacher Academy should have a cumulative college grade point average of 3.0 or higher. No more than 60 credits will be accepted for transfer credit. Final acceptance will be contingent on the submission of a satisfactory college transcript including current semester grades. Students admitted to the Teacher Academy will spend two years in the program and are required to attend the Teacher Academy summer program preceding the first year in the program.

 

Transfer applications received before April 1st will receive priority review. Applications received after April 1st will be considered for transfer to the Teacher Academy as space permits.
