Transferability of Credits
The acceptance of the transfer of credits from Westfield Business School is
up to the institution receiving the credits. Students who plan to transfer
credits earned at WESTFIELD to another school should contact the institution
to which the student seeks transfer before enrolling in order to determine if
credits will be accepted. The granting of transfer credit is within the sole
discretion of the receiving institution.
It is the policy of this institution to accept transfer credits for up to 6
semester credit hours from any program. Students must submit official
transcripts for work completed at another institution in order for the credit to
be considered for transfer. Credit transfer from other institutions is reserved
to those students who have successfully completed courses that are
comparable in content, quality and scope to those offered at WBS. WBS
accepts transfer of credit only from courses whose course descriptions are
equivalent to WBS’s course descriptions. The minimum grade for a course to
be accepted for Transfer Credits should be B.
