Military Transfer Credits

We’ll consider applicable prior graduate coursework and relevant military education/training for transfer or substitution toward the degree. Up to nine semester credits of graduate coursework may be transferred into the master’s program, provided they are directly related to the program and were completed with a grade of B or better. This includes graduates of the U.S. Army Aviation Captains Career Course (AVCCC). Please note that all transferred credits and all degree requirements are to be completed within a six-year timeframe.

Here’s how to get started:

Preliminary review: Email your unofficial transcript(s) for an informal check with our program coordinator.
Official evaluation: After you apply, we’ll complete a formal transfer credit review. If you're an active-duty servicemember or veteran, you should request your military transcripts after applying to be sure you get the credit you deserve.
