Options for Earning Additional Transferable Units
General Information
If a student has 15 units or more in any one general education area, and less than nine in another, three units will be waived in the deficit area. This may be done on a one-time basis only. Pacific Oaks is the one who officially makes this waiver; however, the academic advisor may make the recommendation.
Applicants may earn up to 76 lower division semester units of classes listed under the four basic areas and acceptable electives.
A Bachelor's degree or completion of 70 transferable semester units is required for all admissions.
A maximum of 94 units may be transferred into a B.A. degree program. M.A. applicants using the ABLE option may transfer only upper division units beyond 94.
Students may request a transfer credit estimate based on unofficial transcripts by appointment with the Admissions Office.
