Can I transfer credits from another institution to the St Mary's MBA program?

Yes, you can transfer credits from another institution to the St Mary's MBA program. St Mary's University understands that many students may have completed coursework at other institutions that is relevant to their MBA program. The university allows for the transfer of credits on a case-by-case basis, subject to certain criteria.

When considering transferring credits, it is important to note that St Mary's University has specific guidelines in place. The credits must be from a regionally accredited institution, and the coursework must be equivalent to the courses offered in the St Mary's MBA program. Additionally, the grades earned in the transferred courses must be a "B" or higher.

To begin the process of transferring credits, you will need to submit an official transcript from the institution where you completed the coursework. The transcript will be evaluated by the admissions committee to determine which credits are eligible for transfer. It is recommended to submit the transcript as early as possible in the application process to allow for a timely evaluation.

Once the transcript has been evaluated, you will be notified of the credits that have been approved for transfer. The approved credits will be applied towards your MBA program, reducing the number of courses you will need to complete at St Mary's University. This can save you time and money, allowing you to complete your degree more efficiently.

It is important to keep in mind that there is a limit to the number of credits that can be transferred into the St Mary's MBA program. The university allows for a maximum of 6 credits to be transferred, which is equivalent to two courses. This ensures that students are still completing a significant portion of their coursework at St Mary's University.

In conclusion, transferring credits from another institution to the St Mary's MBA program is possible, but it is subject to certain criteria and limitations. By following the guidelines set forth by the university and submitting an official transcript for evaluation, you can potentially reduce the number of courses you need to complete and expedite your path to earning your MBA degree.
