Transfer Credit and Degree Applicability


  1. Community College courses can only have transferable equivalents at the 1000-2000 level.  At no time can a community college course transfer in to be the equivalent of a 3000 or above MU course. If a 2000 level course title from a community college is similar to a 3000 level title on this campus, the course will be brought in as an elective in that department and at the 2000 level.  The individual Colleges and Schools will have the prerogative of waiving the requirement for the student to take a course with similar or same title on this campus, but there will be no direct transfer equivalency.

  2. If a college/department wants to accept a course from a community college as an equivalency to an MU course numbered 3000 or higher, they need to renumber the MU course to be a number less than 3000. 

  3. Courses from a community college (CC) could account for 6 of the last 36 credits, but only for students who for some reason had general education or other 1000-2000 level course remaining for their degree. (We are not prohibited from accepting CC credit for juniors and seniors, if it is at the 1000-2000 level.)

  4. We only accept 64 credits from community colleges unless additional hours are specified in an approved articulation agreement.

  5. Community college credit cannot be used to meet 3000-level.  They do not have as part of their mission the offering of upper division credit. 

Note:  For additional information, contact the college or school at MU from which the degree is sought.
