Any new grad programs with generous transfer policy?

Good Morning, Still looking for generous transfer policy in a graduate transfer. I have looked at Excelsior, Aspen -( great but DETC so out), and AMU. Thanks. Hille

 

You'll be looking awhile. Grad school is a cash cow for many universities - transfer credits cut into revenue.

 

What do you consider a generous transfer policy? I've seen a few schools that allow 6 credit hours of transfer for graduate programs. I don't know if that would be considered generous, but it's not a bad deal...

 

Excelsior allows up to 15 units in transfer towards their MLS but the max I recall elswhere for grad degrees is 9 units.

 

I looked around and it seems EC is your best bet. Most others only allow 6 or so

 

Ashford allows up to 9 transferable credit hours toward their various masters programs. That would leave you with only 24 more hours to obtain a master's degree (27 for an MBA). At 6 weeks per class, you would be done in just under a year. If you think you could handle doubling up on a couple of classes, you would be done very quickly. Just a thought.

 

Go for a UK degree.

Most UK universities let you transfer grad credits through a process called and they are very generous.

Because their Masters programs normally are divided in three phases, each one with one specific qualification (usually: Certificate, Diploma, Master Degree) sometimes you can skip the Certificate or the Diploma part and jump directly to the final Master part.

And that final part sometimes is just a Thesis/Final project.

 

Amberton

I believe Amberton will allow 12 credits to be transferred into their Masters of Prof. Development Amberton University - Master of Arts - Professional Development http://www.amberton.edu/Degrees/Graduate/PDF/MA_PROFDEV.pdf

 

transferring grad credits..

Hi Hille!

i think you've already found the most generouse, Excelsior allows up to 15 hours, with no time limit on how long ago those were earned.

AMU/APU also allows up to 15 hours or RA OR NA credit, but it must be earned within the last 10 years.

best of luck!

I know that the University of Florida will allow applicants to many of their doctoral programs to waive up to 30 credit hours of coursework with a completed masters degree. I also know personally of people with an MBA who were able to get the full 30 credit waiver applied towards an Ed.D program, but I don't think they will be as generous if the previous coursework did not lead to a completed degree.
