Transfer Module

See it here

The Transfer Module is a subset or a complete set of a college's or university's general education requirements that represents a body of knowledge and academic skills common across Ohio colleges and universities, containing 36- 40 semester hours or 54-60 quarter hours of courses in the fields of (1) English; (2) mathematics; (3) arts/humanities; (4) social and behavioral sciences; (5) natural and physical sciences; (6) interdisciplinary coursework (optional).  This requirement is generally completed in the first two years of a student's residency and is more fully described in the Transfer Module Guidelines.  The Ohio Board of Regents developed this statewide policy to facilitate students' ability to transfer credits from one Ohio public college or university to another in order to avoid duplication of course requirements.  Transfer Modules for other institutions in the University System of Ohio can be found here.
