UMass Amherst has a generous policy on transfer credits, allowing up to 75 credits from other colleges and universities no matter how long ago you took your courses. You may also be able to earn credits from CLEP exams, professional trainings, and training received in the military, bringing them in as transfer credits. All active duty service members and veterans receive 3 academic credits for completing basic training.
