All students applying for admission to the Robert H. Smith School of Business as transfer students, whether internal transfers already enrolled at UMCP or external transfer students entering the university for the first time, will be subject to competitive admission for a limited number of spaces in the Statement of Policy on Transfer of Credit from Community Colleges It is the practice of the Smith School of Business to consider for transfer from a regionally accredited community college only the following courses in business administration: an introductory business course, business statistics, introduction to computing (equivalent to BMGT 201), or elementary accounting. Thus, it is anticipated that students transferring from another regionally accredited institution to Shady Grove will have devoted the major share of their academic effort below the junior year to the completion of basic requirements in the liberal arts. A total of 60 semester hours from a community college may be applied toward a degree from the Smith School of Business. Other Institutions The Smith School of Business normally accepts transfer credits from regionally accredited four-year institutions. Junior- and senior-level business courses are accepted from colleges accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). Junior- and senior- level business courses from other than AACSB-accredited schools are evaluated on a course-by-course basis to determine transferability.
