Job Summary
The Office of Admissions at CU Boulder invites applications for an International Transfer Credit Specialist! As a member of the International Admissions team, the International Transfer Credit Specialist plays a critical role in supporting current and prospective students by evaluating transfer credit and maintaining transfer tables, articulation agreements, transfer guides, and related databases.
This new position is responsible for researching international education systems and evaluating coursework and test scores from international institutions, as well as staying up to date on grading systems, state regulations, university accreditation standards, and degree and course requirements at the University of Colorado Boulder. The role also manages transfer articulation components in the degree audit system and works with both undergraduate and graduate credit.
