Maritime Institute of Technology and Graduate Studies (MITAGS) Chief Mate/Master (CMM) Program

It is the student's responsibility to alert APUS that s/he may fall under a current Internal Recommendation Policy by emailing his/her Student ID and the name of the Internal Recommendation to articulations@apus.edu.

Eligibility:

Graduate students must be pursuing one of the following programs at the University (maximum semester hours of transfer credit from this internal policy):

  • Any Graduate level degree program (12 SH)

Students may maximize transfer credit from this internal recommendation by pursuing one of the following programs:

  • Master of Arts in Management (6 SH)
  • Master of Arts in Transportation and Logistics Management (12 SH)
  • Master of Public Administration (9 SH)

Guidelines:

  • A student has met the terms of the agreement and is eligible for possible Transfer Credit Evaluation (TCE) review if they completed the Chief Mate/Master (CMM) Program through the Maritime Institute of Technology and Graduate Studies (MITAGS) and they have not yet had an initial TCE completed.
  • If an initial TCE has already been prepared and the student completed the CMM Program through the MITAGS after the official evaluation was completed, they can send in the updated paperwork.  A TCE Update Request Form must also be submitted to initiate the review process.
  • If a student changes their degree program, they are eligible for a review of their MITAGS CMM Program certificate for possible transfer credit.
  • If a student has already had an initial TCE completed, their documentation has already been reviewed, and no additional paperwork is to be submitted, they are NOT eligible for this internal recommendation.

Students must send in a copy of their CMM Program certificate of completion from MITAGS along with a TCE Application.  Transfer credit may be applied toward the following APUS courses, depending on the student's specific degree program requirements:
