Use the table below to look-up Mason Core requirement course equivalencies within the Virginia Community College System (VCCS). Mason Core categories may have restrictions due to major-specific policies, so please consult the catalog to see Mason Core requirements for a specific major. For a complete and dynamic list of transfer courses accepted at Mason, reference the Transfer Credit Matrix maintained by the Office of Admissions. While the data in the table are as accurate and current as possible, this is not an official source, and the University retains the right to revise a transfer credit evaluation at any time. This information is not to be regarded as an irrevocable contract between the student and the university. In addition to using the table, we recommend that you double check the catalog and Transfer Credit Matrix and also consult with an academic or admissions advisor.
A few notes about transfer credits and using the table:
- Regardless of course content, courses completed as lower-level (freshman or sophomore) will transfer to Mason as lower-level. For example, VCCS BIO 256 (4) = BIOL L311 (4). Equivalencies offered with an “L” designation do not negate the upper-level requirement.
- Equivalencies offered with a four-dash designation, such as COMM—- (3) are electives. Elective credits do not satisfy Mason Core.
- Variable credit courses are listed in the table with the number of credits that are listed in the Transfer Credit Matrix.
- BUS 270 can also transfer as BUS 103, which would not satisfy the Oral Communication requirement for Mason Core.
- Starting in Summer 2024: Students who have taken ENG 111 spring 2024 or prior will receive credit for ENGH 101 (Composition). Students who take ENG 111 after spring 2024 will receive ENGH—- (English elective), which does not satisfy Mason Core.
- GOL 110 can also transfer as GGS 102 & GEOL 103, but this combination of courses would not satisfy the Natural Science with Lab requirement for Mason Core.
- HIS 101, HIS 102, HIS 111, HUM 201, and HUM 202 from VCCS can satisfy the Global History requirement for Mason Core as HIST 101T, HIST 102T, or HIST L387T (see table for exact equivalency) as part of the Passport program. HIST 101, 102, and 387 do not satisfy Global History when taken at Mason or transferred from somewhere outside of VCCS or Richard Bland College.
- PSY 231 & 232 transfer to Mason as PSYC 211 & PSYC—- (Psychology elective), but only PSYC 211 is listed in the table since only this course will satisfy a Mason Core requirement.
