You Can Transfer Credits and Previous Degrees
If you are transferring credits to USU, you can review an unofficial tool to estimate how many credits may transfer. The official review of how many credits transfer will not be given until our advisors review which can be accepted after you apply.
If you’ve previously completed a bachelor’s degree, you can apply your previous credits toward the completion of a second bachelor’s degree and focus on core program requirements.
