MSOE requires that students complete at least 50% of the credits in a degree program at MSOE, therefore, a maximum of 50% of the credits required for a degree may be transferred to MSOE. Because the Bachelor of Science in Business Management (BSBM) is a 2+2 degree completion program, students awarded junior status upon admission are considered to have the maximum number of transferable credit.
Therefore, BSBM students are required to complete all of the credits outlined in the junior and senior portion of the BSBM program. In cases where a student may have completed courses at another college or university that are also required in the BSBM program (e.g., MS-361 Marketing), an evaluation will be done of those courses. If a course is determined to be an equivalent, advanced standing will be granted. Students will be allowed to substitute elective credits for any advanced standing awards. For instance, if advanced standing for MS-361 Marketing is granted, then the student may choose an elective course to satisfy the three credits assigned to MS-361.
MSOE has arranged transfer agreements with several Wisconsin state technical colleges that give students full credit for their associate degree so students can complete a bachelor's degree in two years, attending on a full-time basis.
