Transfer Credit

A maximum of six approved credits of graduate work may be transferred to Missouri Western from another regionally accredited university to be counted toward a Missouri Western graduate degree or graduate certificate. Students may petition additional hours to be considered for transfer at the consideration and approval of the graduate program director and Graduate Dean, pending special circumstances (e.g., student already has a master’s degree, or coursework was taken at another Missouri state funded institution). All transfer credits will be counted toward the graduate overall GPA. 

To request acceptance of graduate credit from another college or university, a Graduate Transfer Credit Form must be submitted to the Graduate School Office for approval.

The intent of transfer credits is to allow students who have completed coursework at other institutions prior to attending Missouri Western to apply those credits to a MWSU degree.
