The University of Miami suggests that students follow a general liberal arts curriculum. Students at two-year colleges are encouraged to follow the Associate of Arts path.
Transfer credit evaluations are only conducted after the student has completed an application and been accepted. At UM, the transfer of credits is a two-part process:
- After the student has been accepted:
- Transcripts are reviewed on a course-by-course basis.
- The student will receive a detailed transfer credit evaluation with any possible UM course equivalencies.
- After arriving on campus:
- Students will meet with their academic advisors or departmental deans.
- Advisors will determine how the transferable credits satisfy degree requirements and approve the course equivalencies.
Credits That Will Not Be Accepted:
- Courses with a Grade Lower than C
- Physical Education, Professional, or Technical Courses
- Study Abroad, Independent Study, or Internships at Two-Year Colleges
- Correspondence/Distance Learning
- Life Experience
Credits earned through online coursework must have a grade of C or better and be taken through a regionally accredited institution. Courses that have grades of C- or lower will not transfer; however, these grades will still be used to compute an admission grade point average.
