Welcome CCRI Transfer Students!
An affordable private education is waiting for you – come experience the JWU difference.
We're so glad you're interested in transferring to Johnson & Wales! We know that CCRI students like you are in school to work hard, further your knowledge and skills, and get an education that has value — which is why JWU is the perfect next step.
A JWU education is not only affordable, it's an investment that pays off. Our Career Outcomes Rate is 97.7%* and has continued to be historically higher than the national average. This rate not only reflects the hard work of our students, but it's also proof that our experiential approach to education works.
We prepare students to enter the industry right out of the gate by teaching the skills that matter and providing hands-on courses and internships to gain the experience they need. Our Experiential Education & Career Services office also supports students with resume-building workshops, mock interviews, and career fairs to find internships and network.
Which CCRI credits will transfer?
JWU has very liberal transfer policies to help students maximize the number of credits that transfer. We have a Transfer Evaluation System (TES) that allows you to see what JWU courses are equivalent to your CCRI courses, and you can also work directly with our Student Academic Services team to ensure that as many of your credits transfer as possible.

In addition to credits earned at CCRI, we also accept ACE (American Council on Education) recommended credits and CLEP/AP/DSST exam credits. Plus, our Guaranteed Admission Program (GAP) provides a seamless transfer experience into certain programs for qualifying students.
