Masters Transfer Credit Policies
Students enrolled in ATOM’s programs may be awarded transfer credit for academic experiences from other educational institutions that are accredited by an accrediting agency recognized by the US Department of Education and that meet or exceed the requirements of the course for which transfer credit is sought, subject to the following guidelines.
Basic Course Transfer Eligibility Criteria
Course content must substantially match an ATOM course. It is the responsibility of the student to provide course descriptions and syllabi as necessary for ATOM to assess whether the prior course work is substantially similar to a program course to justify the award of transfer credit.
Grade must be equivalent to 70% or higher.
Contact hours must be at least 85% of the ATOM course hour requirement.
Students awarded transfer credit for a course equivalent to one offered at ATOM will be granted credit for the number of hours that the Institute’s course earns. A student seeking transfer credit may be required to demonstrate knowledge and skills through challenge exams to be granted credit.
Master’s Program transfer students must take a minimum of 50% of the Masters curriculum at ATOM to be eligible for ATOM’s Master’s degree. Therefore, no more than 50% of ATOM’s required curriculum can be considered transfer credit and accepted toward completion of Master’s program requirements. Of that 50% no more than 25% of the program clinical training requirements may be accepted as transfer credit.
Please Note: Transferability of ATOM Master’s program credits to other educational institutions is at the discretion of the accepting institution. It is the student’s responsibility to confirm if credits will be accepted by another institution.
Post-Admission Transfers
Course work taken at another institution after admission to ATOM is not transferable unless students are required to retake a course to meet ATOM class course requirements. Such coursework must be pre-approved, in writing, by the ATOM administration.
Join the ATOM family and seamlessly continue your journey to becoming a skilled and compassionate practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
