Transfer Credits
Students may transfer 90+ approved credit hours from other accredited institutions with an earned grade of C or better. Students must meet Lincoln University’s residency requirement of at 30 credit hours, of which a minimum of 15 credits must be in the major of human services.
Students can meet the requirements of the Lincoln University core curriculum and the human services major by:
- By taking and passing Lincoln university courses,
- By passing College Level Examination Program (CLEP) tests,
- By preparing professional portfolios and presentations and/or examinations documenting prior learning using The Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL) standards, and
- By transferring courses that are documented by official academic transcripts from regionally accredited academic institutions with a grade of C or better
Credits earned from previous academic studies, life-learning experiences, and professional experience will allow the student to apply for advanced standing toward the undergraduate degree. Consequently, the FLEX Program serves as an accelerated bachelor’s degree program.
Students who join the program with an Associate’s Degree from an articulated institution will be exempt from the core courses, but must still meet the requirements for the major and for the overall 120 credit graduation requirements.
