You may apply to study at an accredited institution in the US that is not affiliated with Mount Holyoke. Mount Holyoke is not responsible for coordinating or administering any programs of study away from campus. You are responsible for obtaining admission to the program or institution of your choice. You must apply as a “non-degree seeking student”, not as a transfer student. If you are admitted elsewhere as a transfer students you must withdraw from Mount Holyoke, even if you intend to return here upon completion of the year or semester away. Readmission to Mount Holyoke in such cases is readily granted if the you left the College in good standing.
