Graded Subject Areas:
Depending on the subject area of the course taken abroad, your credit will come back in one of the following two ways:
- Graded credit (counts toward your MSU GPA)
- Transfer credit (pass/fail basis and does NOT count toward your MSU GPA)
All subject areas listed below will come back as graded credit. Courses taken in any subjects that are NOT
listed will come back as transfer credit. You can find a list of courses that have previously been approved
for transfer credit on
www.transfer.msu.edu.
If there is a course you want to take but is not listed on this page or transfer.msu.edu, you will need to
receive approval from your academic advisor or the appropriate
college contact for study abroad course approvals.
When you contact/meet with someone for course approval, make sure you have relevant course descriptions from
the host university. Links to course descriptions can be found at the bottom of the “details” tab of
each program page on the
Office for Education Abroad Website.
