Hi -- I noticed that University of Dallas will transfer up to 24 credit hours for the completion of their MBA program, but the program requires anywhere from 41 to 49 credit hours (whereas most MBA programs are like 30-32) Are there any institutions, that offer a similiar program? Looking to transfer max credit... Thanks in advance! Sebastian
>> TESC has MS Management that is 36 hours, they will let you transfer in 6 cr, BUT you can do prior learning assessment (!) above and beyond the 6. No limit mentioned. This is a great place to use your prior credit to prove you have college knowledge. It would require more digging and reading of fine print, but you could probably get several classes that way. In a perfect world, if your credits were exact matches, you could argue that all your credits would work by combining transfer with PLA. Of course....it'll cost ya. PLA is not cheap.
Salve Regina University will allow 40% of credits to transfer from elswhere: http://www.salve.edu/graduatestudies/policies_acad.cfm They have an MBA, MA International Relations and MS in Management (which I'm enrolled in). These programs require 36 credits.
I'm not an expert, but I don't believe that most traditional MBA programs only take 30-32 credit hours to complete, although I'm aware that there are several schools out there offering the shorter MBA's, including Regis University (http://www.regis.edu/sps.asp?page=academics.grdeg.mba). Keller Graduate School of Managment takes 48 credit hours (http://www.devry.edu/keller/programs/m_business_administration/courses.jsp. ) Southern Methodist Univerisity's program is 61 credit hours (http://www.cox.smu.edu/grad/mba/ftmba/academicinfo). As far as transfer credit, I'm in the process of enrolling at University of Dallas and am waiting to see how many of my 24 credits from Keller they will be accepting.
Oddly, the Regis program, which is 30 credits, still requires twelve 8 week sessions to complete: “This program is a 30-credit-hour (10 courses) degree which can be completed in less than two years by taking 12 consecutive sessions of 8-week courses.”
Clarification I'm not trying to start a thread that refutes what a standard MBA should look like or how many credits an MBA degree plan should have. I'm mainly interested which graduate programs would accept the maximum amount of credits.
Excelsior accepts up to 24 units in their 48 unit MBA program. https://www.excelsior.edu/portal/page?_pageid=57,200466&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL TESC has a 36 unit MS Management that allows 12 units to be transferred in. http://www.tesc.edu/2236.php
