Our curricula are carefully designed so that
foundation and introductory courses provide necessary information and
skills for later classes. That building of skills continues through
all of our courses, and is conceived so that courses may be taught at a
certain level of sophistication without leaving anyone behind.
Because of the structure of pre-requisites, it may take you 3 or more years to complete a degree
even if you have course credit from another institution.Therefore, we ask that you take this into account in your planning for your expected date of graduation.
If you would like to investigate transferring
credits from another institution that you think would duplicate or
substitute for IAM's offerings in the major, please contact your
advisor. Transferring credits outside the major should be discussed
with the
Office of Transfer Evaluation.
Not every course in the catalog is taught
every semester. Some courses are taught less frequently than others,
for a variety of reasons. For example, some classes, especially upper
level electives, may not have adequate enrollment to justify offering
them every term. In addition, student enrollment in classes affects
whether a class will be taught -- a minimum number of students is
required in order to offer a class, and if under-enrolled, the class
must be canceled.
See the
IAM Courses By Semester page to see which courses are typically offered in which semester.
IAM policy for
transfer of courses in the major:
4 courses (12 credit hours) may transfer into the
major from
another institution.
To waive an IAM class, a student must demonstrate
both
theoretical and practical proficiency.
Each proposed waiver will be evaluated by the
coordinator in
charge of that class. In some cases a
proficiency exam or digital portfolio review may be required.
Courses in excess of the 4 course limit may count
as
college elective credit. IAM electives must
be substituted for waived courses.
