Transfer Credits
A maximum of six graduate credits earned at another accredited institution may be used toward the degree. You must have completed the courses within six years prior to the date of admission to Wilkes University and have received a grade of B (3.0) or better. Official transcripts are required. Since there are no electives in the School Business Leadership program, courses must match those in the existing curriculum. Learn more about transferring credits here.
