If you plan to transfer credits for courses that you've taken at another university or community college, you'll find the information on this page helpful.

GENERAL GUIDELINES

The College of Business and Management generally accepts up to 24 transfer credits for Foundation, Core, and Major equivalent courses so long as -

  • The transferred course is at the same or higher level as its Northeastern equivalent.
    • Examples:
      • A college-level macroeconomics course will be accepted as the equivalent of ECON 215 (a Core course), because ECON 215 is a lower division (freshman/sophomore) course at Northeastern.
      • An introductory marketing course taken at a community college is not automatically accepted as the equivalent of MKTG 350 (a Core course), because MKTG 350 is an upper-division (junior/senior) course at Northeastern.
      • An introductory marketing course taken at a four-year university will generally be accepted as equivalent to MKTG 350 if it is also an upper-division course at the school where it was taken (for example, MKT 230 at Illinois State University).
    • For some of its upper-division courses, the College offers Proficiency Exams that allow recognition of equivalent lower-division course work. If you've taken a lower-division course in Principles of Finance, Principles of Management, Principles of Marketing, Cost Accounting, Intermediate Financial Accounting I, Intermediate Financial Accounting II, Federal Income Tax (Individual), or Auditing, you may be able to earn a waiver (but not upper-division credit) for that course by passing its Proficiency Exam. E-mail or phone the College's Program Advisors for more information about Proficiency Exams: (773) 442-6111.
  • You earned a grade of "C" or better for the transferred course.
    • The College does not grant credit or other recognition for grades lower than "C," for courses taken on a pass-fail basis, nor for incompletes.
