Undergraduate Transfer Course Guide

Credits transferred from accredited Missouri community colleges usually include general education, upper level admission requirements and free elective courses. The College of Business counts a maximum of 64 semester hours transferred from a community college toward the bachelor's degree. However, when more than 64 semester hours have been completed, the additional courses are evaluated on a course-by-course basis for applicability to requirements.

Please visit the MU course equivalencies page for additional course equivalencies.
