Notes:

1) An "X" in a column indicates that the Institution guarantees to accept credit from the source shown for at least part of the requirement.
2) This column indicates whether a school accepts transfer credit for courses taken through distance learning. It does not mean that the school offers the course through distance
learning.
3) Although military service school and MOS credit are only indicated in the electives area above, UMUC will award maximum military credits where appropriate. This evaluation will be
conducted on a case-by-case basis. A maximum of 30sh MOS credit may be applicable.
4) Additional academic requirements: 45sh total upper-level credits; grade of C or better in all major and minor coursework; overall GPA of at least 2.0; at least half the credit for the major
and optional minor must be earned through graded coursework; at least half the credits for the major and optional minor must be upper-level coursework.
5) A maximum of 60 semester hours from all credit-by-exam sources (24sh for CLEP general exams) may be applicable to a Bachelor's degree program.
6) Upper-level coursework may assume prior study in that area. Carefully check for prerequisites.
* If one of the 6sh courses applicable to the Arts & Humanities General Education area is selected, the total required for that area will be 9sh. There will then be room for fewer free
electives.
** Students with prior programming experience may substitute a supplemental major course in place of CMIS102 or CMIS102A.
Students who expect to complete the requirements for a degree are responsible for making sure they have met all requirements by referring to their official UMUC evaluation. It is highly
recommended that students refer to the degree planning worksheets on the UMUC website for suggested course selections, and work closely with their UMUC academic advisor
throughout their progress towards the degree, especially within 15sh of expected graduation.
