Transfer Credit Policy

Business Course Evaluation Policies

The PCSB curriculum consists of business core courses and major business coursework courses.  The restrictions outlined below limit how much credit can be applied to both the business core and major coursework requirements.

• Students are able to take lower-level core business classes at any institution of higher learning.
• On-line course transfers for lower-level courses need to be from an AACSB-accredited institution.
• Students cannot transfer in upper-level business core or major coursework (exceptions are made on a case-by-case basis by department chairs).
• Students cannot transfer their major capstone course (no exceptions).
• PCSB will only review international coursework from either an AACSB-accredited international business program or from a PC international partner institution approved by the PC Center for International Studies.
• A maximum of 60 semester credit hours of transfer credit may be accepted.
• Students must complete their two final years in full-time residence at PC and earn at least 50% of their major coursework credits with PC courses.
• A grade of C or better must be earned in the individual course to receive academic credit. Please note that C- grades are not approved for transfer credit.

Lower-level business core courses are the following: ACC 110, 111, 203, and 204; FIN 207 and 217; and MKT 205.

Upper-level business core courses are the following: FIN 310, MGT 301, and MGT 330.
