Transfer Credit Policy
Courses may be considered for transfer to the Healthcare specialized courses at the graduate level in the three (3) years prior to MBA/Health matriculation. Courses for consideration must be a grade of "B" or better and official transcripts provided (with English translation, if applicable).
Students Who Leave Boston Before Their Degree is Complete
Occasionally, Suffolk MBA/Health students must leave the Boston area having not yet completed their degree. The Sawyer Business School has several options available to insure completion of the Suffolk MBA/Health. You may be able to transfer in six (6) credits of elective courses from an AACSB-accredited MBA close to your new place of residence. Courses must be pre-approved by Suffolk’s Assistant Dean of Graduate Programs and have a grade of "B" or better.
A student who leaves the area may also be able to complete all or a portion of their Suffolk MBA/Health degree on a part-time basis online.
