This track offers a unique opportunity for students to transfer up to twelve (9) graduate-level credits from previous coursework completed at other regionally accredited institutions within the last ten years. These credits can be applied to our MAOL program, allowing students to fast-track their education. In the event that students transfer less than the maximum number of credits, they will complete an equal number of courses within the Trevecca program's track to ensure all requirements are met. This coursework counts towards completing the Interdisciplinary Studies Track requirements and may result in a brief break from coursework while the student's cohort completes their personalized learning track.
