Can you transfer credits into the UBIS MBA?
Yes. UBIS may accept eligible graduate-level coursework toward its 36-credit MBA after academic review. Current UBIS program information states that up to half of the MBA may count through transfer credit when prior courses are approved.
Transfer credit is not automatic. UBIS reviews prior coursework for relevance, academic level, content, and applicability to the MBA curriculum before confirming any award.
Explore the UBIS MBAReview the MBA transfer pathwayWhat MBA coursework may qualify for transfer?
Graduate courses are considered when they are comparable in level and content to the UBIS MBA and can be applied to the program's degree requirements. The current MBA page notes that equivalent graduate courses generally require a minimum grade of B.
Because course titles alone do not always show what was taught, the academic review may look beyond the transcript to determine whether the learning outcomes and subject matter align closely enough with the UBIS curriculum.
Read UBIS transfer credit principlesHow much of the MBA can transfer?
For the current 36-credit MBA, UBIS states that up to 18 credits may be transferred after academic review. That is up to 50% of the degree.
The exact number depends on the courses approved in your individual evaluation. A prospective student should not assume the maximum will apply until UBIS has reviewed the academic record.
What documents are needed for an MBA credit evaluation?
The starting point is your academic record. UBIS asks applicants seeking transfer review to provide transcripts, and the MBA application information also identifies a CV and government-issued identification among the application materials.
Additional documentation may be requested when the academic team needs more detail to compare a previous course with the UBIS curriculum. Providing complete and clear records helps the evaluation focus on the courses you have already completed.
Start the UBIS applicationWhat happens during the individual credit evaluation?
The evaluation determines which previous graduate courses can be applied to the UBIS MBA. Academic reviewers compare your prior study with the program requirements and confirm the credits, if any, that can be accepted.
After the review, you can see how many courses remain in the MBA. This gives you a clearer basis for planning your study path before enrollment rather than relying on a general estimate.
Why request a credit evaluation before starting?
A credit evaluation can help you avoid planning to repeat coursework that may already satisfy part of the MBA. It also gives you a more accurate picture of the remaining academic requirements.
For students who have studied at another graduate institution, the most useful next step is to submit their academic documents and let UBIS assess the record individually. The final transfer decision rests with UBIS as the receiving institution.
Ready to find out what may transfer?
If you have completed graduate-level business coursework, request an individual review rather than trying to estimate transfer eligibility on your own. UBIS Admissions can review your records and confirm any approved MBA transfer credit.
Start with your transcript and application details, then use the transfer pathway to understand what your remaining MBA plan could look like after academic review.
