Transfer Policy
The Charleston Southern University (CSU) Transfer Policy holds. In addition, there are specific transfer policies effective in the School of Education (SOE). SOE policies are as follows:
1) Only courses newer than seven years old may be eligible for transfer.
2) EDUC 201 Principles and Philosophy of Education may be transferred from an NCATE-accredited institution. The syllabus must indicate the transfer course is similar in content, rigor and field experience. A “B” or better must have been earned for the course to transfer to CSU, and the student must have a GPA of 2.0 or higher.
3) EDUC 313 Introduction to Human Growth and Development may be transferred from an NCATE-accredited institution. The syllabus must indicate the transfer course is similar in content and rigor. A “B” or better must have been earned for the course to transfer to CSU, and the student must have a GPA of 2.0 or higher.
4) EDUC 201 and EDUC 313 are the only education courses potentially eligible for transfer to CSU.
5) Elementary and/or Early Childhood majors are required to take three standards-based core science courses (BIOL 149 with a lab, GEOL 100 with a lab, CHEM 111 with a lab OR PHYS 111 with a lab). A student may earn a substitution for one of the science courses. The science course the student substitutes must be of appropriate content and rigor including lab. After a student is enrolled in CSU, he or she cannot take a science course at another institution and substitute the course for one of the three core science courses.
