Benefits of Transferring to the Mount

The Three Main Questions

1. Will my credits transfer?

We know that you've worked hard to get to where you are, and that's why we accept up to 90 credits - including up to 66 credits from and associate's degree program. The Registrar's office will complete a credit evaluation for each accepted student, telling you exactly how many of your credits will transfer. Click on our transfer credit guide to see how your credits will be applied.

2. How long will it take to complete my degree?

Degree completion time depends on which program the student is pursuing and how many credits are transferred into the Mount. After your credit evaluation, you will know how long your degree will take. For example, if you want to study Nursing, you will need to complete 3 years in the day program or 1.5 years in the evening program.

3. How much is this going to cost?

The amount of credits you transfer is directly related to the cost. Please refer to our Tuition and Fees page for the cost of attendance: msmc.edu/tuition
