Transfer Credits

University policies concerning transfer credits:

  • University of Delaware policy allows a maximum of nine credits of graduate courses completed as a non-matriculated student through the University of Delaware's Professional and Continuing Studies to be tranferred into the MI program.
  • You also may transfer a maximum of nine credits of graduate courses completed at other accredited colleges or universities. For each course, you must have earned a grade of no less than B-.
  • You cannot transfer credits that have been used previously to satisfy degree requirements for either a graduate or undergraduate degree.
  • You cannot transfer credits that were earned more than five years prior to the first semester in which you enter the MI program.
  • You cannot transfer credits from EDUC 700 - 729.
  • Transfer credits do not exempt students from core courses unless the program faculty specifically approves a request for such an exemption.
  • Transfer requests are submitted to your advisor during your first semester in the MI program. Each transfer request is examined on a case-by-case basis to evaluate whether the course is appropriate for the MI degree.
  • It is wrong to assume that you will be able to transfer any previous coursework into the MI program. There are no guarantees. However, if you desire to complete a few courses while deciding if applying for the MI program is the right choice for you, your best option is to complete some of the General Core courses as a continuing education student at the University of Delaware.
