Transfer Credit Weber State University accepts transfer credit from regionally accredited colleges and universities. Higher Learning Commission Western Association of Schools and Colleges Southern Associtation of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges Middle State Commission on Higher Education New England Commission of Higher Education Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities Transfer Degrees Completed Associate of Arts (AA) and Associate of Science (AS) degrees earned at another Utah institution as a part of the Utah System of Higher Education (USHE) will satisfy all WSU general education core and breadth requirements. Out-of-state AA and AS degrees from regionally accredited institutions are evaluated using NCAA standards and will fulfill WSU general education core and breadth requirements if the degree includes evidence of 6 credits of college-level English coursework, 3 credits of college-level math coursework, and 3 credits of college-level physical or life science coursework. Students are required to complete the American Institutions (AI) requirement in addition to their accepted associate degree if that degree does not include 3-6 credits of coursework with the course learning outcomes that include a reasonable understanding of the history, principles, form of government, and economic system of the United States as required by state law. Transfer credit for college courses that are remedial or developmental will not be transferred to WSU. Credit will be carried on the student’s transcript by WSU but may not apply toward certain degree requirements. WSU Academic Departments will evaluate and determine whether the transfer credits will be acceptable toward their major or minors. For students who are transferring from a non-regionally accredited institution, please refer to Credit by Examination or Petition in Academic Information .

Transfer Credit Related graduate-level courses from other universities may be accepted with permission of the MPC program director. Transfer classes must be at an appropriate level and fulfill the objectives of the MPC and cannot exceed 12 hours. No courses for which credit was used to fulfill requirements of another graduate degree may be used toward the MPC degree.

Transfer Credit Policy Transfer students should submit transcripts from all institutions of higher education to the Weber State University Admissions office. Student Recruitment at (801) 626-6050 will consult with Admissions to determine which general education credits will be accepted by Weber State. Most courses with a grade of “C” or higher are eligible for credit, including General Education MATH and ENGL Core requirements. Students should establish transfer of general education work prior to meeting with the John B. Goddard School of Business & Economics Advisement Center. The Advising Center will consult with Goddard School academic departments to determine credit toward specific Goddard School requirements and address further transfer issues. The Utah System of Higher Education (USHE) Transfer Credit Guide has been established to indicate articulation of equivalent courses between the in-state public colleges and universities. Credits from business courses transferred from institutions not covered by the USHE Transfer Credit Guide are accepted only if approved by the appropriate Goddard School academic departments. Documentation which allows the Advising Center and department chairs to assess the content of courses taken may be required. This documentation may include: catalogs or bulletins; course outlines or syllabi; and transcripts. In the majority of cases, course credit which is not obsolete (see above) taken at institutions accredited by AACSB International will be accepted and applied to the Goddard School’s graduation requirements. The Goddard School may require validation for courses taken at other institutions before credit is applied to Goddard School requirements. This validation may consist of either: passing a challenge exam; or completing the next course in a related sequence with a grade of “C” or better. Validation may be required where upper division credit is sought for lower division course work taken at another institution. Students are reminded that the Weber State catalog states, “Acceptance of credit should not be confused with its application. Transfer credit may or may not apply to Weber State’s graduation requirements, regardless of the number of credits transferred. Credit other than that intended wholly to meet general education requirements, will be applied to Weber State’s specific degree program requirements upon the recommendation of the appropriate department chair.” This means credit that is accepted by Weber State may, or may not, apply to specific requirements within the Goddard School. Students transferring credits from institutions outside the U.S. should follow the guidelines for International Students. Transfer credits should appear on the student’s WSU transcript before meeting with the Goddard School Advising Center or major department chair.

Students who have completed business-related graduate coursework at another AACSB-accredited institution prior to admission to the program may apply for the transfer of graduate credits to satisfy their Goddard School MBA program of study, with the number of transfer credits not to exceed the minimum residency requirements (see above). Once admitted, students may transfer only elective credits from another AACSB-accredited institution. Required course credits may be accepted in transfer from another institution after admission to the Goddard School MBA Program, only when the student is unable to complete all required courses in residence due to relocation. All transfers are subject to program approval.
