Transfer of Credits

Students who have studied at graduate level have certain options depending on how much they have studied: including transfer of credit, sequential Masters and Sequential MBA.

• You may transfer up to nine credits (equivalent to three classes) onto an MBA program and up to 12 credits (equivalent to four classes) onto an MA program.
• You may only transfer work from a graduate program approved by Webster University. For US programs, this means either a regionally accredited graduate institution or a professional military program.
• You may only transfer credit for graduate classes in which you achieved a grade B- or higher, where this work is relevant to the Webster University program you propose to take.
• The London campus assesses transfer of credit and makes recommendations to the relevant department at the home campus at St. Louis. If you wish to have a transfer credit assessed, you should provide us with official transcripts before your proposed start date. Transfer of credit is confirmed by our home campus at St. Louis

All official transcripts and diplomas issued in English must be certified with the official seal of the issuing institution. All official transcripts and documents in a language other than English must be certified with the official seal of the issuing institution or embassy-certified stamp and accompanied by a literal and certified English translation.

Sequential Degrees

A sequential degree is an opportunity to earn a second MA or MBA degree following your first postgraduate degree.

Sequential MA degree

• If you have earned an MA or an MBA from Webster University you may apply for a sequential MA degree by completing only the core classes in your chosen MA.
• If you have earned an MA, MBA or MSc from another regionally accredited college/university or international equivalent, you may earn the sequential MA by completing the required classes detailed in our curriculum as well as an additional 6 credit hours (2 classes) of Webster University MA or MBA coursework that does not duplicate coursework. You may only transfer classes that can substitute for the core class requirements.

Sequential MBA

A student who holds an MA or MS from Webster University or from another regionally accredited college/university or international equivalent, may earn a sequential MBA from Webster University.

You must meet the following conditions if you are seeking to apply for the sequential MBA:

• You must meet the core class requirements of the MBA. If you enrolled in any of the MBA core classes as electives in your MA program, 6 credit hours (2 classes) of those MA classes may be counted toward the 27 credit hours (9 classes) of MBA core classes, thus reducing the MBA core requirements to 21 credit hours (7 classes).
• If more than 6 credit hours (3 classes) of the MBA core classes were taken in the MA program, then substitutions will have to be made for those classes in order to fulfil the 21 remaining credit hours required for the MBA degree.
