Transfer of Credit
Transfer credit is limited to a maximum of nine credits in graduate courses completed in the last 5 years with grades of B (3.0) or better, during enrollment as a graduate student at an AACSB-accredited program, and must not be part of another degree. Exceptions to this rule are accepted only in unusual circumstances and then only by approval of the SOM Curriculum Committee. See Graduate Study for additional information on University of Michigan-Flint policies on the transfer of graduate credit.
Course Waivers
Up to 9 credits of course waivers are considered, and only at the time of admission to the MS program. Equivalency is determined by the AACSB-International accreditation status of the institution, or by the School of Management Curriculum Committee. Grades in equivalent courses are also considered. Two undergraduate courses are needed to waive a graduate course. The program provides 9 or 12 waiver/credit for prior learning credits based on MITx MicroMasters® completed coursework. Graduates of UM-Flint’s Supply Chain Management major who may have taken undergraduate versions of the coursework will not be asked to repeat these courses at graduate level. However, completion of a minimum of 30 graduate credit hours is required.
Time Limit for Degree Completion
All requirements must be completed within seven calendar years of initial enrollment in the program.
