Courses transferable to any other school or program at VCU are transferable to the BIS degree as are some courses from community colleges, professional and technical programs. Courses from two-year institutions (including community and junior colleges) are limited to 63 credits. Applied Science credit is limited to 30 credits in the focus area only. 

 

Credits toward the BIS degree may include military training/education, technical or workplace training (30 hours maximum), portfolio evaluation from other accredited institutions (15 hours maximum), and CLEP (College Level Examination Program) exams (54 hours maximum).

 

In order for military, technical or workplace credit to be considered, students must request transcripts through the American Council on Education (ACE) and submit them to the BIS program for review. You may request ACE transcripts by going to their Web site.
