Purdue Global - schristian10 - 09-17-2021
How many credits are transferable to Purdue Global? Their BSBA is 180 credits according to their website.

They are a quarter-based school, so you have to convert your semester credits to figure it out:
180qcr x ⅔ = 120scr
120scr x 3/2 = 180qcr
So generally, if you took a course at a semester-based school and it was 3cr, it would be worth 4.5cr at a quarter-based school. My husband's eval though, shows that they rounded (so his 3cr courses and 4cr courses came in as 5cr). Purdue Global generally does 5cr courses for LL, and 6cr courses for UL.

To answer your question, they allow 75% transfer, so you can transfer in 135qcr (90cr).

Yeah, sometimes it's very confusing on the number of credits required. So, I don't even look at credits most of the time, I look at the number of courses. For example, most Masters will have anywhere from 10-12 courses, which equates to 30-36 semester credits and whatever their comparative quarter credits at a competing college/university. In the end, it's still just 10-12 courses you have to take. Just like a Bachelors, 40 courses for 120 semester credits or 180 quarter ones.

Unfortunately, that's not going to work at Purdue Global because of the number of credits they give most UL courses. My husband needs 45qcr there, which works out to be 8 courses - 3 LL (15qcr) and 5 UL (30qcr).
