| TRANSFER
CREDIT STATUS DEFINED |
DEFINITION
|
Transfer
credit programs allow students to
take courses at other institutions and to transfer
credit back to NMSU. Transfer credit programs
have been developed by the Office in cooperation
with the colleges using a strategy that promotes
(1) choice, (2) affordability, and (3) academic
relevance and quality.
|
STRATEGY
|
CHOICE |
Students
may study in approved universities and other
educational institutions in all regions of the
world. Many subjects are taught in English for
students who have not mastered a foreign language.
Or students may study a language intensively
or in a language which they have mastered. Programs
are open to undergraduate and graduate students.
|
| AFFORDABILITY |
Students
either pay NMSU tuition on exchange or
enroll in low- to moderate-cost affiliated
direct enrollment programs. Students may
also pay NMSU room and board rates on some exchanges.
Full-time degree seeking students may use scholarships,
grants, and loans administered by NMSU on all
approved programs. Students may compete for international scholarships coordinated
or supported by NMSU
|
| ACADEMIC
RELEVANCE & QUALITY |
|
Students
receive transfer credit through programs that
have been selected to match well with the curriculum
of the various colleges. Credit transfer is pre-approved
by a student’s college and recorded on
the student’s transcript upon receipt of
an official transcript or report from a host
institution or university. Programs are selected
to challenge students to learn to speak a foreign
language, adjust to living in a new culture,
experience a different academic system, gain
new perspectives of their abilities and character,
and improve their career opportunties.
