Can I transfer credits towards an MBA by distance education?

Yes, you may be able to transfer credits from previous education or work experience towards an MBA program offered through distance education. Each university or institution has its own policies regarding credit transfer, so it is important to research and inquire with the specific program you are interested in.

Here are some common ways in which you may be able to transfer credits:

Transfer Credits from Previous Education	Transfer Credits from Work Experience
Many universities allow students to transfer credits from previous undergraduate or graduate coursework that is relevant to the MBA program. This can help you save time and money by not having to retake courses you have already completed.	Some institutions also offer the option to earn credits based on your work experience. This may involve submitting a portfolio or completing a challenge exam to demonstrate your knowledge and skills in a particular subject area.

It is important to note that not all credits may be eligible for transfer, and the amount of credits that can be transferred varies by institution. Additionally, some programs may require a minimum grade in order for a course to be considered for transfer credit.

• Save time and money by not having to retake courses you have already completed.
