Hear how transferring to Oglethorpe has allowed junior Karishma Patel to experience a rigorous science curriculum that’s preparing her for a career in medicine. Learn about transferring at oglethor.pe/transfer. Apply before April 5 and have your application fee waived!
What a neat way to help online students feel like valued members of their college community!
