Transfer Credit

Students in good standing in the College may receive transfer credit for no more than two courses taken during the summer at another accredited four-year college. Such courses cannot fulfill AXLE requirements,
count as part of the last 30 hours in residence, or be taken for repeat credit or on a Pass/Fail basis.

Get approval before taking a course. The first step is to see Deans Bergquist or Jones. The Director of Undergraduate Studies must also approve proposed courses in economics. Here are some guidelines:

1. Most courses in economics are readily creditable. They need not have a counterpart at Vanderbilt. Indeed, avoid courses elsewhere that overlap substantially with Vanderbilt courses that you have taken or plan to take in the future.

2. Unless an economics course elsewhere requires the equivalent of our 231, 232, or 150, it will probably qualify for transfer credit below the 250 level. But it should carry a principles of economics prerequisite—unless it is a course in principles.

3. To transfer as equivalent to Econ 150, 231, or 232, a course taken elsewhere must require calculus.

4. See the Office of Managerial Studies, 258 Buttrick for approval of transfer credit in managerial studies including accounting and finance.
