Military Transfer Credit

Coursework from the Air University, the Defense Language Institute, the United States Naval Academy, the United States Military Academy, the United States Air Force Academy and the United States Coast Guard Academy will be considered for transfer if a comparable course is offered at George Mason.

Military Science or ROTC credit earned at other regionally accredited colleges and universities may be considered for transfer into the Department of Military Science.

Other credit earned for training or military service (as documented on an official ACE transcript) may be considered for transfer into the Bachelor of Individualized Study (BIS) and Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) programs and is subject to the Credit for Nontraditional Modes of Learning policy within these programs. If an enrolled BIS or BAS student decides to change majors to ones outside these programs, nontraditional transfer credit will not apply toward any other major.

New and current George Mason University students who have completed basic training may be eligible to receive elective credit. To request this credit, applicants must submit an official Joint Services Transcript or a DD-214 indicating a discharge status other than dishonorable to the Office of Admissions.
