Credit Articulation

Overview

We have an articulation agreement in place with the Master of Professional Studies (MPS) in Entrepreneurship, Innovation, and Leadership (EIL) Program at UMBC (eil.umbc.edu). Leaders completing and demonstrating mastery of an articulated program under our rigorous assessment standards may receive graduate academic credit towards the MPS in EIL Program at UMBC, or a Graduate Certificate in either Entrepreneurship, Innovation, or Leadership.

POLICIES

The EIL Program accepts our programs for transfer credit. Transfer credit is generally limited to 6 semester hours (i.e., two 3-credit courses); however, the Graduate Program Director may grant up to 9 semester hours of transfer credit in exceptional circumstances. To earn 3 credits, a leader must attend 40 hours of instructor-led learning and complete a graded item (i.e., an assignment, action learning project, or individual development plan with coaching). If interested in pursuing graduate studies in the EIL Program at UMBC, a leader must apply for admission and, if accepted, will then be eligible to apply the approved Program towards their degree as transfer credit. A leader seeking admission must follow the established application process and meet all departmental, program, and Graduate School requirements for admission. Per the UMBC catalog, for academic coursework deemed transferable, the Graduate School will award transfer credit; however, grades earned elsewhere will not be included in the UMBC GPA calculation.
