To help make the transfer process a little easier, Mizzou offers a transfer course equivalency site that gives you an idea of what credits will transfer into Mizzou. The site offers course equivalencies for most colleges and universities in Missouri and select out-of-state institutions.

If your school is not listed, Transferology is a useful tool to see how your courses may apply toward a degree at Mizzou. We will evaluate those courses upon admission. After you have been admitted to Mizzou, an admissions evaluator will go over your transcripts to see which credits will transfer with you. If you are transferring from outside the state of Missouri, a faculty member may have to review your transcript as well, which can lengthen the process.

Frequently Asked Questions about Transfer Credits:

If I take a class somewhere else does the grade transfer or just the credit?

Both the grade and the credit will transfer to the College of Education. The College of Education maintains both a UM GPA (courses taken within the UM System) and an overall GPA (all college credit). For the purposes of earning your teaching certificate, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education requires a minimum overall GPA of 2.75.

Where can I find how classes transfer?

The Transfer Course Equivalency Site helps to provide equivalency information between the University of Missouri – Columbia and selected institutions. There are two options: for potential transfer students from another institution to see how coursework will be accepted; the second option is for current students who would like to take courses away from their home campus.
NOTE: if you are transferring an education course, please reach email CEHDAdvising@missouri.edu to see how that course will transfer. When you email the Advising Email address, please include your syllabus for the education course you are transferring.
