*Inverted Option: Depending on the number of applicable transferred credit hours, a student may be able to use at least 24 technical/occupational credit hours or 24 credit hours in a specific field of study (e.g., credits earned from military transcripts and/or corporate training, etc.) as elective credits for an Inverted Degree. For Inverted Degree students, all elective hours can be either lower- or upper-level, and the minimum University requirement of 42 hours of upper-level credit can be waived.
