S 841 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

Resolve relative to public higher education credit transfers

This bill directs the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education to finish mapping Associate's to Bachelor's degree pathways under the MassTransfer program by December 31, 2024. The measure ensures that courses taken as major requirements at one public college will be accepted as major requirements at another public institution within the state. It directly affects students transferring between public colleges and universities in Massachusetts by guaranteeing that their major-specific coursework will count toward their new degree.
