Transfer Course Equivalencies and Major Guides

Select your transfer college from the drop-down menu below. If searching for a City College, please enter "City Colleges of Chicago" rather than the individual college name. You can search course equivalencies by your transfer college's course code, NIU's course code, NIU course title, credit hours, or IAI code.

This guide should be used in conjunction with academic advising and is not a replacement for meeting with your academic advisor to discuss personalized course planning. The course equivalencies and major guides are effective for courses taken Fall 2024, Spring 2025, and Summer 2025.

Below, find equivalencies for the courses listed in the guide. Please note that every course listed in the guide is shown. Please refer to the guide to see if a course is required or optional.
