San Diego Golf Academy - Transfer Credits

SDGA has developed formal relationships with a variety of schools to make it easier for our students to apply the credits they earn at SDGA toward advanced degrees. While many schools accept SDGA transfer credits, the schools below have formal articulation agreements in place with SDGA.

Virginia College and SDGA have entered into an articulation agreement to provide graduates of SDGA's program with an opportunity to pursue a Bachelors degree through Virginia College Online (VCO). VCO has designed a Bachelor of Science degree in Golf Course Management specifically for students completing SDGA's 2-year program. VCO agrees to recognize degrees earned at SDGA in fulfillment of VCO's admission requirements, and to transfer appropriate SDGA credits into VCO's BS in Golf Course Management program. VCO operates on a quarterly schedule, and 91 out of a required 195 quarter credit hours are accepted in transfer! For more information visit the Virginia College Online website at www.vconline.edu or contact Darrel Hanbury at (205) 397-6636 x3636 (dhanbury@vc.edu).

SDGA and Grand Canyon University (GCU) have formalized an articulation agreement to provide the opportunity for SDGA graduates to further their education and achieve a Bachelors degree. This Agreement is specifically designed to allow for maximum transfer of credit and a seamless transition for SDGA Alumni into the GCU Bachelor of Science in Applied Management degree program. All credits earned at SDGA will transfer to GCU, up to a maximum of 66 credits, leaving only 62 credits to be completed at Grand Canyon. The BS in Applied Management will be granted with an emphasis in Golf Complex Operations and Management for SDGA graduates, and will be available both at the GCU Phoenix campus and Online. Contact Mike Kozel with GCU at mkozel@gcu.edu or 602-639-6853 for more info.

SDGA has an articulation agreement with University of Phoenix (UOP) that enables graduates to continue on to receive a Bachelor of Science in Management (BSM) with an Emphasis in Golf Complex Operations and Management in as little as 18 months. This entails 61 of SDGA’s credits being transferable, regardless of grades earned in individual courses, with a remainder of 59 credits to be taken at UOP, either online or at one of their learning centers. This degree program has been customized for SDGA graduates, to meet both the continuing education goals of our graduates and recognize their educational accomplishments to date.

In addition, SDGA has a transfer credit agreement with University of Phoenix (UOP), which provides for the transfer of credits earned at SDGA on a case-by-case basis. This provides SDGA graduates with the opportunity of continuing their education at UOP, in the specific degree program of the graduates’ choice.

SDGA has an articulation agreement with Johnson & Wales University that enables graduates to continue on to receive a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Sports/Entertainment/Event Management in an estimated 8 to 9 terms (quarters). If completed with a grade of C or better, 24 SDGA courses transfer for students graduating with an A or AB emphasis, and SDGA graduates are exempted from taking three other Johnson & Wales required courses based on work already completed.
