Transfer Admissions

Graduating from Towson University

A minimum of 120 units is required for graduation from Towson University.  Students must fulfill General Education (GenEd) requirements, departmental requirements of chosen major and 32 units of upper-division course work, inclusive of major requirements and a general elective unit.

Credits from two-year institutions and community or junior colleges may not be used to fulfill the upper-division requirement of 32 units.  Lower division courses from four-year institutions that correspond to upper-level division TU courses will transfer as they are taught at the institution you are transferring from.  These courses, however, will not count as upper-division credit.

Your graduation requirements may vary depending on the catalog you are assigned when you transfer to TU.

Graduating with Latin Honors

In order to qualify for Latin Honors, you must:

  1. Complete a minimum of 60 units at TU to qualify for honors.  This may include S, PS or PE (CLEP) credits.  Second bachelor’s students must take 60 units at TU in the second-degree program.  Students must have a minimum Towson GPA of 3.40.
  2. A student with transfer credits must also have a cumulative transfer average of 3.40 or above (combined average of all transfer schools).

Additional information about graduation is available at the graduation Web site.
