Can I get transfer credit at SLU for economics courses taken at another college?

Generally you can receive transfer credit for an economics course as long as the course is similar to one already offered in the department or if the course could be offered in a liberal arts curriculum. However, as a rule we do not accept transfer credit for intermediate theory courses (ECON 251, 252). We also do not give transfer credit for business-type courses (i.e., management, marketing, advanced accounting, human resources course). An exception would be three courses offered at Clarkson University as part of our 4+1 MBA and pre-management programs.

Current SLU students must receive approval from the Chair of the Department of Economics before enrolling in any course at another college or university. You should never assume the courses will be transferred without this prior approval.
