Transfer Requirements

To Miami Herbert Business School from within the University of Miami
University of Miami students seeking internal transfer to Miami Herbert Business School from other UM Schools and Colleges must have a minimum of three full semesters (45 credits) remaining after transfer to MBS, within which to complete degree requirements, and must meet the following conditions prior to making a formal internal transfer request:
- an earned grade of "B" or better in MTH 161 (4 credit hours) or MTH 151 (5 credit hours) or MTH 140 and MTH 141 (8 credit hours). If a student does not initially earn a "B" or better in the calculus course, the student may repeat the calculus course to satisfy the required minimum "B" grade. The second grade will be considered for purposes of meeting the criteria to transfer to Miami Herbert Business School. For information on repeated courses and grades, please refer to the University Policies on Repeat Rules.
- an earned minimum cumulative UM GPA of 3.0.
- Students must attend a mandatory "Transfer to Miami Herbert Business School information session."
To Miami Herbert Business School from outside the University of Miami

Transfer applicants from outside the University of Miami must submit a satisfactory academic record in compliance with the standards of the University of Miami Office of Admission. Admitted applicants will be in good academic standing at all institutions previously attended and have a minimum transfer cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.0. All previous transfer courses must be from an accredited institution, and a minimum grade of "C" (2.0) must be earned in all transfer courses for UM credit to be awarded. This includes repeated courses under a forgiveness policy at any previous institution. Credit hours more than 12 years old are not recognized for degree purposes.

All transfer students to Miami Herbert Business School must have completed and received college credit for a calculus course equivalent to either MTH 161 (4 credit hours) or MTH 140/MTH 141 (8 credit hours), and earned a grade of “B” or better in the(se) course(s). The transfer calculus course must be approved by submitting the syllabus and textbook title to the University of Miami Department of Mathematics for evaluation. If the student's calculus course grade is below B, the student may take the MTH 161 at UM in an attempt to achieve the necessary B grade to pursue an internal transfer into MHBS.

All transfer coursework taken outside the University of Miami will be reviewed on a course-by-course basis for equivalency to Miami Herbert Business School course requirements. Any business class that is from a non-AACSB accredited institution will be accepted only as elective credit toward the overall degree requirements. Transfer applicants may appeal to have transfer classes from non-AACSB accredited institutions reviewed for possible application toward business course requirements by submitting the course syllabus and textbook title to the Office of Undergraduate Business Education in Merrick Building, Room 104.

A transfer student’s overall coursework must also meet specific curricular and residency requirements, found in the University of Miami Academic Bulletin. Pursuant to Miami Herbert Business School policy, transfer students must complete a minimum of 50 percent of the Business Core at the University of Miami. Transfer students must also complete a minimum of 50 percent of all major and a minimum of 50 percent of all minor courses at the University of Miami. This may mean, in individual cases, that a transfer student can expect to take more than the standard 8 semesters to complete the undergraduate business degree.
