Transferability of Multicultural Credits
Transfer credits to meet the Multicultural requirement will be accepted under the following guidelines:
- Transferable courses taken at an accredited institution to meet a Multicultural or similar diversity requirement will satisfy the MSU Denver Multicultural requirement.
- Transferable courses equivalent to an existing Multicultural course will satisfy the MSU Denver Multicultural requirement. Equivalency will be determined by the department offering the course. Once a course has been approved by a department, it will be given the status of an approved transferable Multicultural course.
- If a transferable course is interdisciplinary, MSU Denver transfer evaluators will consult with the department(s) where the majority of the course content resides.
- A one-hour deviation in the Multicultural requirement will be allowed for courses judged to be similar in content to an existing MSU Denver Multicultural course. Equivalency will be determined by the department offering the Multicultural course.
- Full credit or a one-hour deviation in the Multicultural requirement will be allowed when the transferable course meets MSU Denver’s Multicultural definition and course criteria, although a similar course is not taught at MSU Denver.
- If transferable courses do not clearly meet MSU Denver’s Multicultural definition, transfer evaluators may request an opinion from the Faculty Senate Curriculum Committee and/or the Multicultural Curriculum Review Committee.
