Quickest Masters in terms of class load

[newdegree]

If you have graduate transfer credits, Jacksonville State University has a Master in Integrated Studies, which accepts 18 transfer credits out of the 30 required. If a person gets accepted in the Spring, they can finish the course load in two semesters (Spring and Summer or Summer and Fall), which is 12 credits (6 per semester), or you can try to bang out all 12 credits if the college allows you to.

Please be advised that the 18 transfer credits at the graduate level have to be newer than 6 years. I just wasted a bunch of money applying to this program! People, please do your research before applying to any college program.

Most colleges will not typically accept gradaute credits older than 6 years. You should read the transfer credit policy before applying to programs. Rare institutions take credits older than 6 years. Still, a few exceptions, like Liberty University, Excelsior University, Thomas Edison State University, and others, allow credits up to 10+ years, depending on the program.

Yup, thanks! Hopefully, these comments are helpful to future applicants. As a side note, I had no idea transcript fees have soared to ridiculous levels as third-party companies now handle such requests.

In many B&M colleges this is less of an issue. I know that, for example, California public colleges credits dont have an expiration date on credit. Exemptions are also available for many programs.

When I was researching MBAs, almost all MBA programs had an expiration date on transfer credit. I didn't see any that were over 5 years. I saw a few that were 3 years. But 5 years was the most common.
