GENERAL
(This information is for those transferring to the College of Business and Management, not for those currently enrolled who wish to take additional courses.  If you are already a student at NEIU, please contact your advisor before taking a class at another school)

 For those transferring to Northeastern from another school,  the College  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.

• 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 330 at Illinois State University).
  NOTE:    200-level courses require successful completion of the proficiency exam prior to being accepted

Proficiency Exams:

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 Marketing
                          Cost Accounting
                          Intermediate Financial Accounting I
                          Intermediate Financial Accounting II
                          Federal Income Tax (Individual)
                          Auditing
you may be able to earn recognition (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 satisfactory grades ("S") or incompletes, or the course is less than 6 years old.
