6POLICY REGARDING TRANSFER OF COURSES TAKEN AT THE LOWERDIVISION LEVEL FOR UPPER-DIVISION CREDITIt is the policy of the College of Business, in cooperation with academicdepartments, to assure that all students who are granted the baccalaureatedegree, including students completing some work in transfer and thosecompleting all course work at Missouri State University (MSU), receive aneducational experience of similar quality.In order to assure high standards in the educational programs, theacademic departments reserve the right to evaluate and make a determinationregarding the equivalency of courses taken at other institutions to be acceptedfor credit toward fulfillment of a baccalaureate program at MSU.A course completed at the lower-division level (such as one completedtoward fulfillment of an Associate of Science or Associate of Applied Sciencedegree) but which is deemed by an academic department to be similar in contentto an MSU course at the upper-division level, may be accepted for equivalentcredit if the student can successfully demonstrate a level of achievementnecessary to satisfactorily complete remaining upper-division course work.In order to assure this level of achievement, academic departments haveestablished appropriate validating procedures for those courses frequentlyreceived in transfer. Other courses may be evaluated and appropriate validatingprocedures established on an individual basis. For those transfer coursesrequiring validation through completion of an additional course, a grade of "C" orbetter is required in the validating course.These are the courses for which validating procedures have beenestablished:ACC 301 - Intermediate AccountingValidating Course: ACC 302 - Intermediate Accounting IIMGT 340 - Organizational Behavior and DevelopmentValidating Course: MGT 341 - Advanced Organizational Behaviorand DevelopmentCIS 326 - Database Management Systems Concepts and DesignValidating Course: CIS 528 - Database Management SystemsImplementationCIS 321 - Information Systems Analysis and DesignValidating Course: CIS 431: Structured Systems DesignCIS 370 – Web Application Development for Business IValidating Course: CIS 375: Web Application Development forBusiness II
