Transferring Credits

This program consists of 182 quarter credits (equivalent to approximately 120 semester credits). You may transfer up to 135 quarter credits (equivalent of 90 semester credits) from other college studies. The number of transferred courses will vary based on previous studies.

A typical transfer student with the equivalent of 90 quarter credits (60 semester credits) will need to complete 92 quarter credits at Drexel (approximately 30 courses). Depending on the inclination of the participant and the other demands on a participant's time, a community college graduate can complete the degree in as little as 2 years or over as long as seven years (approximately one course per term for 28 consecutive terms). The fewer college credits a student has coming into the program, the more Drexel courses will be required to complete the program
