Admission to the Continuing Education Program

Eligibility

The Continuing Education program is open to any person at least 24 years of age who holds a high school diploma or its equivalent as well as those who have previously completed a bachelor’s degree.

Application

Formal application is not required of Continuing Education students until after they have completed 12 credit hours at Marietta College. However, Continuing Education students who wish to apply for financial aid must complete a Continuing Education application and meet the admission requirements of the College.

Transfer of Credit

Marietta College welcomes students transferring course work from other colleges and universities. Most Continuing Education students include some transfer work as part of their degree program. Credit hours transferred in from an institution following a “quarter” or a “unit” program will be pro-rated to “semester” hours. Details can be obtained from the Records Office. Any transferring student should be aware of the College’s Residency Requirement that stipulates that a minimum of 36 of the last 43 hours of course work must be completed at Marietta College in order to receive a Bachelor degree, and 15 of the last 18 hours of credit used in fulfillment of the requirements for the associate degree must be completed at Marietta College.

Additionally, for the bachelor degrees eighteen hours in the major must be courses taken at Marietta College.

Prospective students are encouraged to make an appointment with the Registrar to discuss questions about the Continuing Education Program. Students who are re-entering college may find it useful to have a review and evaluation of their previous course work. This may also be done as part of the preregistration interview process prior to each semester.
