Transfer Course Evaluation Process

If you have taken courses at another institution in economics, mathematics, or statistics that you want to count towards your major requirements, you will need to have them evaluated. 

If you attended an institution in the United States and want to see if the course has already been approved as equivalent to a course at the University of Minnesota, it can be found in Transferology. For courses that need to be evaluated, we require a syllabus that provides information about the course you completed. 

A syllabus is a detailed document that explains what was taught in the course. It is not the same as your transcript or a course description. 

How to Submit Transfer Courses for Review
