General Education Options for Transfer Students

• In order to determine if transfer course work satisfies General Education requirements, the credits for each course are rounded.  For example, if a student transfers in two N-courses each worth 2.66 credits, each course counts as 3 N-credits towards the Group XI requirement.  On the other hand, an L-course worth 2.49 credits does not satisfy the Group V requirement of 3 L-credits.
• Students who have earned 20 or more credits equivalent to the approved Montana University System Transfer Core as a degree-seeking student at another institution prior to their initial registration at UM-Missoula, may choose to complete the MUS Transferable General Education Curriculum rather than the UM-Missoula General Education requirement.
• Additional information on General Education options for transfer students and transfer student admission can be found at https://catalog.umt.edu/academics/admission/transfer/.

Cross-listing

• Due to updated procedures for course coding, cross-listing is no longer available.  Departments are encouraged to revise their elective lists to include formerly cross-listed courses.

Curriculum proposals archive will have program descriptions if not yet available in the catalog.
