Transferring to Elon
Find Your College.
Find Yourself.
How do you know when you’ve found the right fit? It’s when you develop meaningful relationships with faculty mentors who teach you to connect what you love now with where you’d like to be in 15 years. It’s when you absorb an academic concept and are empowered to test it outside the classroom. It’s when you step onto a spectacular 656-acre campus and feel like you’re home. At Elon, you’ll shape the course of your own studies and dive into immersive experiences. You’ll learn what it means to see the world through different perspectives. During your time here, you’ll learn more about the person you want to become, set professional and personal goals and acquire the skills to take you there.
