Missouri Reverse Transfer

Missouri Reverse Transfer

Missouri Reverse Transfer (MRT) is the process of allowing students who have completed credits towards an associates degree at a Missouri 2-year college to receive that degree while enrolled at Northwest.

Missouri has moved forward with a statewide policy to help more Missourians earn degrees.

Northwest will work with students to help send transcripts to our partner two-year institutions in order to facilitate the reverse transfer process.

For more detailed information on Missouri Reverse Transfer take a look at the Missouri Department of Higher Education website.

What are the BENEFITS?

Are you ELIGIBLE?

You must have earned a minimum of 15 credit hours at a single Missouri two-year institution to be eligible for a reverse transfer degree. Students are not eligible for the program if they currently possess an associates degree or higher.

How does Northwest Missouri State University help you with Reverse Transfer?
