Graduate schools that accept the most transfer credits

If you have credit from a school that closed, it's possible that a different school even without a formal teach-out agreement will reduce its residency requirements so you can complete a degree.

Indiana Wesleyan University for example has a policy for such "displaced students." A displaced student transferring to an IWU graduate program that is 36 credit hours must take a minimum of only 9 credit hours at IWU, for example.

Indiana Wesleyan doesn't meet sanantone's general criterion for this thread as it limits graduate transfer credit normally to 35% of a program. However, it might be useful to someone that it states it accepts ACE and NCCRS and that statement isn't limited to the undergraduate level alone. It also accepts NA and has a PLA process for unaccredited.

 

Well, hallelujah! And believe me when I say that I'm not being sarcastic here. Well maybe just a little bit. It's about time that a college of higher learning acknowledges that there are other ways of acquiring that knowledge, and on a case by case basis, apply it towards a degree (even graduate no less) so a prospective student doesn't have to relearn what they've already learned. And yes I am aware of the Big 3 and their inclusive approach but IWU appears to be a college in the "traditional" sense. So this application of credits might even be construed as an enlightened way of thinking that shows an open mindedness unheard of in the upper echelons of academics. It may even be deemed revolutionary. But let's not get too excited here. But hey, it's a win for the team and I'll take a win when I can get one.

 

For their Ed.D. program, they have a completion option that accepts an Ed.S. or 30 credit hours of education-related doctoral level courses (700 level or higher). The credits can come from a school accredited by an agency recognized by CHEA and ED.

I was looking at their Ed.S. in Educational Technology and Learning Engineering while searching for Ed.S. programs. The learning engineering part made it seem like a fancy degree

What classes are the LawShelf and Coopersmith ones? Where can we find these opportunities?

 

For the LawShelf classes, the only school that I have seen that accepts them as graduate credits is Purdue Global. They would come in as Legal Studies electives, so there would need to be room for that in your degree plan.

If you decide to give LawShelf a try, I happen to be an affiliate. You can use my code to basically buy one get one free...

Salem University: Up to 50% of a master's program. Also, its DBA program will award up to 9 out of its 51 credits by portfolio assessment for relevant professional experience totaling at least five years.

 

I don't think these have been mentioned yet, and I previously made threads on these programs.
Colorado State University's PhD in Engineering will apply up to 30 credits from a technical master's degree plus 10 doctoral credits that were not previously used in another degree. The Doctor of Engineering will apply 30 credits from a technical master's plus 6 doctoral credits that were previously not applied to a degree.

Carolina University's PhD in Leadership allowed up to 50% of the program to be transferred in...at least when I first discovered the program. Contact them for up to date information.

Wayne State College: Up to 50% of an MA or MS in Interdisciplinary Studies, MS in Education, or EdS. Significantly less transfer credit is accepted toward the MBA or MSOM. B or higher required; B- not acceptable. Within this transfer credit maximum, graduate students may petition to challenge for credit. Credit that has been applied toward an earned graduate degree will not be accepted, except for the MSE professional education core. Wayne State College in Wayne, Nebraska, should not be confused with Wayne State University in Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan.
