International students who wish to have their previously earned credits from a foreign institution of post-secondary higher education may use those credit hours in lieu of the study abroad requirement in the IA degree. International credit hours must comply with UNG policies of transfer credit and conditions for degree requirements.

Residency requirements = last 30 hours of degree credit are from UNG.
