Transfer of Credit

Graduate Transfer Credit Criteria

Refer to the general credit transfer guidelines below for all graduate programs at Argosy University. Final decisions on accepting graduate-level continuing education coursework as transfer credit are made by the Program Chair and Dean at the University location in which you are enrolled. There is no guarantee that coursework will be accepted for transfer until you have applied for and received approval from the Dean or Program Chair. To learn more about specific program criteria, please contact us to request more information.

College graduate credits completed are acceptable for transfer under the following conditions:

• Credit transfer requests will not be granted until students have been accepted into an Argosy University graduate program.
• The course must have been a graduate-level course, taken for equivalent graduate-level credit at a regionally accredited college or university, or nationally accredited college that is part of a program approved and documented by the faculty and dean of the appropriate college of Argosy University. In the case of institutions outside the United States, the appropriate state or its equivalent or national accreditation is required. "Equivalent graduate-level credit" refers to both content and degree level of the course.
• Students must have earned a grade of "B" or better for any course submitted.
• Argosy University does not accept for graduate credit any credits earned as military credit, credit by examination, credit by correspondence, credit for life experience, or graduate credit from non-accredited schools unless offered in an approved program or under an arrangement approved by the faculty and dean of the appropriate college of the University.
• Argosy University will accept a maximum of 6 credit hours of graduate-level continuing education toward elective credit in a degree program if offered through The Connecting Link, an approved partner of the University, and approved as transfer credit by the faculty of the degree program.
• Official transcripts are required for transfer credit to be considered.

The program in which you are enrolled determines the maximum number of credit hours and standardized testing credits eligible for transfer, and therefore the total number accepted may be less than the maximum credit hours listed above. Programs may determine that certain courses are not eligible for transfer of credit.

Transfer credit maximums by program:

*In California, the Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education (BPPVE) restricts the maximum number of transfer credits to 30 credit hours for doctoral programs and 6 credit hours for master's programs.
