How many graded credits do graduate schools want to see? - Math avoidant - 07-06-2022

For those of us who are doing things like transferring 113 credits into an excelsior degree (just to name one example) will a low number of graded credits prove a problem with graduate school GPA requirements?

It depends on the school. Every school is different. Some individual programs have additional requirements as well.

Anyone have experience with the American College of Education graduate programs then?

It really depends, here's the chat we had last month, your best bet is to email them and ask if it is acceptable to have only a few graded credits: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-90-credit-max-transfer-does-that-include-TECEPs?pid=368246#pid368246

My advice is if you’re just starting out, then inquire. If you’ve already got 100 ungraded, then don’t ask. Just apply and see what happens.

This ^.

Also some states have additional requirements. For example Virginia requires 90 graded grad credits before doctorate.
