Block Transfer-Credit Policy

Some of Bryan University’s programs allow for incoming students who have successfully completed a degree at another institution to be awarded block transfer credit for the entirety of that degree.

  • Students who have completed a paralegal-related associate degree at another institution may be eligible to block transfer their credits into the Bachelor of Science in Paralegal Studies at Bryan University.
  • Students who have completed a healthcare-related associate degree at another institution may be eligible to block transfer their credits into the Bachelor of Science in Healthcare Administration at Bryan University.
  • Students who have completed a fitness-related associate degree at another institution may be eligible to block transfer their credits into the Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science, Fitness, and Nutrition Management at Bryan University.
  • Students who have completed a business-related associate degree at another institution may be eligible to block transfer their credits in the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration at Bryan University.

In all cases, the prior degree must meet the following requirements:

  • The degree must have been completed at an accredited institution recognized by the Department of Education
  • The degree must have included a minimum of the following:
    • 15 semester-hour credits, or 22.5 quarter-hour credits, of academic general education courses*
    • 21 semester-hour credits, or 31.5 quarter-hour credits, of core program courses**
    • 60 semester-hour, or 90 quarter-hour total degree credits

If the associate degree does not meet the requirements listed above, the block credit will not be accepted, and normal transfer credit policies apply. Once admissions requirements are met and the enrollment paperwork is countersigned by the Registrar’s office, students are conditionally accepted.

*Should the degree not meet the minimum general education course credit requirements, students may still block transfer their associate degree, but will be required to take additional general education courses to complete the bachelor’s degree requirements.

**Should the degree not meet the minimum core program course credit requirements, students may still block transfer their associate degree, but will be required to take additional core program courses to complete the bachelor’s degree requirements.
