Transferability - MUS Strategic Plan
Goal Statement
Deliver efficient and coordinated services.
Goal 3: Efficiency & Effectiveness
System Initiatives: MUS Transferability Initiative:
The 2007 Legislature appropriated $1.5 million to help the MUS improve the transferability of courses and further develop its centralized data system.
As a result, the MUS initiated a “common course numbering” process for all
undergraduate courses. This process requires that all courses deemed to be equivalent must possess the same course prefix, number, and title; all courses with same name and number will directly transfer on a one-to-one basis with equivalent courses at the receiving institution.
Progress:
As of June 2019, more than 10,000 courses in over 60 disciplines have gone through the Common Course Numbering process and developed program outcomes. This represents 100% of the undergraduate courses in the MUS.
Objective 3.3.1
Improve articulation and transferability among all 2-year and 4- year institutions, including community colleges and tribal colleges
Metric 3.3.1
In 2019, the Legislative Audit Division conducted a survey of over 12,000 recent transfer students (response rate = 10.6%).
