Total Credits
Notes:
120 SH
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) Bachelor’s program students entering an online program with fewer than forty-eight (48) transferable credits are required to successfully complete EXP 105 Personal Dimensions of Education as their first course. EXP 105
applies toward elective credit requirements and cannot be replaced or waived by credit in transfer. Students entering with forty-eight (48) or more transferable credits are required to enroll in PSY 202 Adult Development and Life
Assessment as their first course.
4) Credits earned in a regionally accredited Associate of Arts degree where the student earned a 2.0 cumulative GPA or higher are accepted as fulfilling all the General Education and competency requirements of a bachelor’s
program in the online modality, with the exception of the General Education Capstone. This does not constitute a waiver of any course required to earn a particular major. Students who do not possess a regionally-accredited
Associate of Arts degree must fulfill all outstanding General Education requirements.
5) For any course to apply to a General Education Competency category the grade earned in the course must be C- or better.
6) In the Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration degree, 6 credits from the major also satisfy General Education requirements if grade earned in PHI 445 is C- or better.
*CGD 218 satisfies 3 semester credits in the major and fulfills 3 semester credits of the Cultural & Aesthetic Awareness General Education category.
**PHI 445 satisfies 3 semester credits in the major and fulfills 3 semester credits of the Applied Ethics Competency (if grade earned is C- or better) General Education category.
7) Students who satisfy MAT 222 with transfer credit will be automatically waived from MAT 221 adding 3 semester credits to the elective credit requirement, unless MAT 221 is also satisfied via transfer credit.
