Awarding of Transfer Credit – Jack Welch Management Institute (JWMI)

Transfer students seeking evaluation of previous graduate level credit must provide evidence the courses are comparable in content to those offered in the program of study at Strayer University and come from an institution that is recognized by an agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education or the American Council on Higher Education. Evaluation of transcripts or academic experience is conducted by the university registrar's office in accordance with university policy.

Upon completion of the transfer evaluation, a student may receive up to 18.0 quarter hours of credit toward the completion of a Jack Welch Management Institute (JWMI) Master of Business Administration program at Strayer and up to 4.5 quarter hours of credit toward the completion of a JWMI graduate certificate. No courses with grades below a B will be accepted in transfer. Undergraduate credits may be accepted only with an Articulation Agreement between JWMI and an approved regionally accredited university or college. Only those courses determined to be eligible for transfer will be accepted. Students should contact the academic office for the list of courses eligible for transfer.

All courses evaluated for transfer must have been completed within 10 years of the date the student is accepted into a JWMI degree or certificate program.

JWMI students may earn up to three courses of advanced standing credit if they hold a current and verifiable professional certification. The list of certifications and corresponding courses will be updated as needed and posted on the university website.

Duplicate transfer credit is not permitted and will not be posted. If a student submits transcripts from two institutions or sources that include credit for the same or similar course, credit from only one source will be posted.

If a student is on disciplinary suspension at Strayer University, any courses taken during the period of suspension at one of Strayer University's affiliates, or at any other institution, will not be accepted as transfer credit towards any Strayer University academic program.
