title: Undergraduate Degree Completion

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


Will all of my credits transfer?
They generally will, as long as they are from an accredited college or university. You can only have 64 hours from a two-year school. So you might have an excessive number of two-year school hours. They will transfer and show up on your transcript, but they will not count toward your degree.

How long will it take to finish my degree?

Usually there are several factors to consider:

  • How many hours you are transferring to USM
  • How many classes do you want to take each semester
  • The rotation of classes between the sites
