Commonly Asked Questions

• What schools will The Fisher College of Business review credits from, and how many credits can be accepted?

  The business program curriculum consists of core courses and courses from the selected specialization. There are restrictions limiting how much credit can be applied to core, specialization, and business minor courses.

  In addition, while Fisher is a strong proponent of international study experiences, we will evaluate business courses completed only at our undergraduate exchange program partner institutions.

  • A maximum of 3 semester hours of transfer credit may be accepted toward a student's specialization.
  • A maximum of 10 semester hours of transfer credit may be accepted toward the required business core coursework. NOTE: Students attending a college or university in the state of Ohio: all courses that are part of the Transfer Assurance Guide (TAG) will be accepted.
  • Transfer credit for core, specialization, and business minor coursework will be considered only if it was completed at a domestic AACSB accredited institution OR international institutions who are undergraduate exchange program partners with the Fisher College of Business.
  • Business courses completed during the summer term or through a summer program at international institutions that are not Fisher undergraduate exchange partners will be considered for elective credit only.
