Our Professional Bachelor’s Degree programs are designed to be as inclusive as possible. We accept transfer credits from accredited institutions and allow students to transfer up to 90% of their previously earned credits. This means that students can save time and money by leveraging their previous education, allowing them to focus on completing the remaining requirements for their degree.
For our Professional Master’s Degree programs, we also recognize the value of prior learning. Students can transfer up to 60% of their credits from previously completed coursework. Whether you’ve completed graduate courses or earned credits from other accredited institutions, we aim to ensure that your prior work is acknowledged, minimizing the time it takes to earn your advanced degree.
Our Professional Doctoral Degree programs follow the same flexible approach, offering transfer credit of up to 60%. We understand the rigorous nature of doctoral studies and appreciate the wealth of experience students bring with them. By recognizing your previous coursework, we help you focus on the critical research and practical learning necessary for the successful completion of your doctoral studies.
At Delaware City University, we believe that your educational journey should be recognized and valued. Our Transfer Credit System helps you build on your prior learning, offering a path toward a successful academic future with greater ease and efficiency.
