MC Transfer Students (B.A.)
Did you know that nearly half of all Marymount Interior Design graduates began their undergraduate education at another institution?
The Interior Design department and Office of Undergraduate Admissions are committed to making the transfer process for Montgomery College students as smooth as possible. The following information is provided specifically for MC students interested in completing their B.A. Interior Design degree at Marymount University. If you already have a Bachelors degree, you can learn more about transferring credit towards our First-Professional Masters in Interior Design here.

More Info on Transfer Credit
Marymount University requires a grade of C or higher to consider transfer credit for undergraduate courses. In addition to that requirement, the Interior Design department requires a placement portfolio to receive transfer credit for some Interior Design courses. A course-by-course articulation grid is provided below.
You can read more about the Placement Portfolio process here.
