Three easy steps:

1. Print out an advising sheet.

• Business-all emphases (BBA)
• Accounting (BSA)

2. Get a list of course equivalencies.

Below is a table of course equivalencies from Kansas City area community colleges. If you've received college credit from an institution other than those listed, click here to go to the UMKC Registrar's Office homepage. In the left hand navigation, select 'course equivalency', and then 'transfer student'. Universities with reviewed courses will be listed.

3. Fill in the blanks.

Working with your college transcripts, a blank evaluation, and a course equivalency list, you should be able to get a good idea of the courses you've taken that are the equivalent of UMKC courses counting toward either our BBA or BSA degree programs.  

If you have questions, contact one of our academic advisors, either via email, or stopping by our office during walk-in advising hours. For directions to campus and a downloadable map, click here.

For ease of transfer to UMKC, students at community colleges should follow an Associate of Arts curriculum and take only the specific business courses recommended by UMKC. If you have questions about whether a course will transfer, contact the Bloch Student Services office before enrolling in the course(s).  

Please note that graduate credit must always be evaluated by an academic advisor, and is generally done after a student is admitted to a graduate program.
