How does the credit transfer work?
Students may double count up to 12 credit hours of Pre-MAT coursework toward both their undergraduate degree and the MAT program, if admitted. To be eligible, each course must be completed with a grade of B or higher.
To ensure content remains current, Pre-MAT credits are only considered if admission to the MAT program occurs within two years of completing the undergraduate degree. After that window, the program may require replacement credits at its discretion.
What courses can I take for credit transfer?
Coursework completed as an undergraduate is intended to lay the foundation for continued growth in the graduate program. All course decisions should be made in close consultation with an academic advisor.
The following courses (up to a maximum of 12 hours) may be counted toward possible credit in the MAT program:
