Advance Your Education Online at UofL

If you’re pursuing a master’s degree and considering transferring to the University of Louisville, you’re in the right place. For most online master’s programs, students may transfer up to six (6) credit hours of graduate coursework from an accredited university (sometimes pending department approval).

UofL currently offers online master's degrees in areas including business, computer science, education/teaching, engineering, health administration, higher education administration, leadership, public health, social work and more. We also offer various graduate certificate programs that allow you to advance your education in just a few courses. You can also use most UofL online graduate certificate programs as a starting place, with the option to roll your credits into a master's program whenever you're ready.

  • Can I receive credit for graduate courses completed at another institution?

    Earned graduate credit may be transferred from accredited institutions that offer advanced degrees. Generally, the maximum number of semester hours transferable, upon request, is six.

  • How does the transfer process work?

    UofL's online bachelor's degree programs are designed so that you complete the first two years of coursework through the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) with the Kentucky Virtual Campus (KYVC). However, you may transfer credit to UofL from any regionally accredited university. You will submit transcripts from all undergraduate institutions you attended as part of the admissions process. Upon review, some or all credit may be applied to your degree program.

    Ideally, students transfer to UofL with a completed associate degree from an accredited institution to maximize credit transfer*. Students who have been enrolled at a Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) school and have fulfilled all of their general education requirements can have all of those credits transferred in block, and can then begin immediately with the upper level coursework. Students who have not completed an associate's degree but have completed most or all general education requirements may be able to complete remaining courses at UofL. Every situation is different. To learn more about transferring credit, contact an enrollment counselor.
