How does the transfer credit evaluation work?

Transferring Credit

Master of Science: 45 credits are needed to earn the master's degree.  Up to 22 credits earned at another accredited institution are eligible for transfer. 

Bachelor of Science: 180 credits are needed to earn a bachelor's degree. Up to 120 credits earned at another accredited institution, through military experience and/or coursework, or through ISSA are eligible for transfer. 

Associate of Science: 90 credits are needed to earn the associate degree. Up to 60 credits earned at another accredited institution, through military experience and/or coursework, or through ISSA are eligible for transfer. 

To be eligible for transfer, previously completed undergraduate coursework must have been completed with a grade of C or higher through an accredited college or university, B or better for graduate coursework.

Credit awarded for experiential or equivalent learning, including credit-by-examination, shall be at most 25 percent of the credits required for the degree and is only accepted into our undergraduate degrees.

Relevant NCCA-accredited or ISSA personal training certifications may be transferred in upon successful passing of corresponding competency exams (BS—maximum of 4, AS—maximum of 2, Master Trainer certificate—maximum of 1).

We must receive an official transcript from the issuing institution before awarding transfer credit. A completed application is also required for a transfer credit evaluation.
