How Will My Investment in UToledo Pay Off?
Meet Andrew Kleopfer
Class of 2020, theatre
Transferred from Owens Community College
"I worked hard at Owens, so at UToledo, I was able to earn scholarships when I transferred. My decision came down to cost and opportunity. I could get more for my money at UToledo. The admissions process was extremely easy. I was a little anxious about how my credits would transfer. I wanted to finish my degree in two years. But I was able to transfer 62 of my 66 credits."
