Transfer Units

University Policy on Transfer of Undergraduate Units

MET Policy on Transfer Units for Graduate Programs

Metropolitan College evaluates transfer units based on the course content, grade, level, as well as the comparability and applicability of the course(s) to fulfill degree requirements of the intended program of study. The accreditation of the institution at which the work was completed is also taken into account. A maximum of 8 units may be transferred from other institutions into a MET master’s degree program that requires a total of 32 units or more. A maximum of 4 units may be transferred from other institutions into a MET Graduate Certificate program that requires a total of 16 units or more. Programs may set a lower maximum number of units that may be transferred. Students may not use units or other work used to satisfy the requirements of another degree earned at Boston University or another institution to fulfill the requirements of a master’s degree at Metropolitan College, unless such transfers have been approved for a specific program and institution. Some MET master’s programs may recognize up to 8 units for holders of approved professional credentials or certifications. Units should be earned in the last five years and be at a grade of B or higher. Individual exceptions to the above policy can be petitioned through the Metropolitan College Dean’s office. Exceptions may be warranted only in rare circumstances.
