Transferring to McKendree University

A student transferring to McKendree who has received an associate's or a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited institution, is considered to have met all general education requirements, provided the prior degree is not considered vocational or a skilled trade. "Vocational" or "skilled trade" refers to programs that generally do not require a four-year degree and are in disciplines not offered as majors at McKendree University (e.g., welding, auto mechanics, cosmetology). Coursework from vocational or skilled trade degrees will be evaluated for transfer credit on a course-by-course basis.

Students who have met the Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI) general education core curriculum (GECC) will also be considered to have met all general education requirements.
