The University of Utah Professional MBA program allows for the transfer of academic credit, primarily for the benefit of students who have started their studies at another institution but wish to complete their degree through the Professional MBA program.

Students may apply up to 6 total credits for courses that meet the transfer requirements. Typically, transfer credit will count as elective credit; however, there may be occasions where a course will count for a specific Professional MBA core course.

Note: A course that meets all these criteria may still be denied for transfer credit. All decisions regarding transfer credit are at the sole discretion of the University of Utah Professional MBA program.

Applicants will be required to submit a syllabus for the course as well as their transcript. A separate petition must be submitted for each course for which an applicant is requesting transfer credit.

Decisions will typically be made within two weeks, and you will be notified of that decision by the Professional MBA program staff. Applications for transfer credit received prior to a student’s admission will be reviewed on a preliminary basis only; final decisions regarding transfer credit can only be given to students admitted to the Professional MBA program.

Transfer credit approval is conditional upon receipt of an official transcript showing the grade that was earned. Grades received for courses granted transfer credit are not included in the University of Utah GPA for classification of academic standing or graduation.
