Transfer Credit & Articulation
LMU policies regarding transfer credit may vary slightly among the individual colleges and majors, depending upon degree requirements. In general, courses comparable in content and depth with those in the LMU curriculum will transfer.
Transfer Agreements
Transfer agreements are designed to identify for students courses that apply towards a Loyola Marymount University degree program. Each agreement is divided into three sections: University Core Requirements, Lower Division Major Requirements and Transfer Summary.
International Transfer Credit
LMU may award transfer credit for international coursework. Courses completed at non-U.S. institutions of higher education must be documented on an official academic record from an international institution recognized by the Ministry or Department of Education of that country. Visit our Admission website for information about LMU Foreign Equivalencies.
Existing Histories
The Existing Histories database can be accessed to see how courses from schools with no LMU Transfer Agreement have transferred in the past. Since these are not part of a Transfer Agreement, they may not necessarily transfer as indicated.
