Transfer Credit
Graduate courses that are offered through Marygrove College in partnership with Teachscape may be eligible for transfer. You may be eligible to transfer up to two (2) Marygrove/Teachscape individual graduate courses (or 6 credits) into the online MAT program. Upon transfer of credits, you will pay the difference in tuition between the transferring Marygrove/Teachscape course(s) and the equivalent class(es) offered in the MAT program. You will be required to participate in the weekly online collaboration group discussion.
Because the program is offered in a lock-step format without electives, the potential to transfer courses from another institution is highly unlikely. You may request transfer credit from a course from another institution as part of the application process. To be considered, courses would need to have been taken within six (6) years of your anticipated graduation date. And all requests for transfer must include (1) an official transcript and (2) a course description from the credit-granting college or university. Requests must be made in writing at time of application. There is a supplemental evaluation fee of $100 for each transferred course. No more than two (2) courses (6 credits) may transfer into the program.
