Admission of Transferring Students

For transfers to MU, the policy is to accept only three (3) courses (12 units) for transfer credit at the graduate level. Students desiring to transfer such credits must make a formal request which includes: 

  • A list of MU courses for which the student is requesting credits;
  • Official transcript(s) indicating courses that may be equivalent;
  • Descriptions and syllabi/outlines for the course(s) or catalog.

Transfer credits of semester units are approved for equivalency by the subject faculty member. It is the student’s responsibility to begin the process by first becoming familiar with the required courses in the MU program as described in the current catalog.

The University does not automatically give credit for courses completed at other institutions; it determines whether credit will be given by evaluating each course and its content. Only equivalent courses are transferable. A or B grades are required at the graduate level. MU has not entered into an articulation or transfer agreement with any other college or university.
