Students may transfer courses taken at another accredited institution if the courses are passed with a C or better and are deemed by the College of Management to be equivalent to a Georgia Tech course. Such courses will be transferred for the same number of credits as the corresponding College of Management courses, provided they are equal to three or more semester hours of credit. Transfer credits will be accepted from newly-formed institutions of the University System of Georgia prior to accreditation.

For institutions within the University System of Georgia, the total number of credit hours transferred for courses within the core curriculum* will match the number of credit hours granted by the originating institution. Hours of credit in excess of the corresponding Georgia Tech courses may be transferred only as free electives. For courses taken outside the core curriculum, the rules in the previous paragraph will apply.

Junior- or senior-level courses with three or more semester hours of credit that have no corresponding College of Management course may transfer as electives in management if they are approved by the College of Management.

Because of the difference in the intellectual level of various courses, freshman- or sophomore-level courses taken at other institutions may only be transferred for equivalent freshman- or sophomore-level courses offered at Georgia Tech. * Exception: University System of Georgia schools may transfer the equivalent of MGT 2106, Business Law and Ethics, if taught at the freshman level. Business Law and Ethics has been designated as a core course.

* Core curriculum for this purpose may be defined as 2000 level Management courses plus Business Law and Ethics.

Management students considering taking courses at other institutions should keep in mind Georgia Tech’s 36-hour Residency Rule, which states that “no student may be considered a candidate for a degree unless the final 36 credit hours required for the degree are earned in residence at Georgia Tech and approved by the major school.”
