Earning Graduate Credit

The following courses offer an optional graduate credit supplement so you can earn credit towards a master’s degree. These graduate credit supplements provide a cost-effective, time-savings way to earn credit toward an advanced degree while completing professional development through CMR Institute.

An illustration of our commitment to provide superior educational content, the supplements earned graduate-level credit recommendations by meeting stringent evaluation criteria of the American Council on Education's (ACE) College Credit Recommendation Service.

A CMR Institute Student Advisor can provide more information about graduate supplements and maximizing your educational efforts through CMR Institute. Please contact us at 800.328.2615 or program@cmrinstitute.org. 

Graduate Credit Criteria

To receive graduate credit for any course listed above, the following criteria must be met:

• The successful completion of BOTH the regular course requirements and the graduate supplement for the course. The graduate supplement work is in addition to the regular course requirements and includes an exam consisting of case-based questions and two writing assignments. Tips and resources for successfully completing the writing assignments can be found on our Graduate Writing Resources page.
• The regular course requirements and the graduate supplement for the course both must be passed within 5 years of applying to a University.
• The regular course requirements and the graduate supplement for the course must be passed with an 80% or higher exam score.

Again, graduate supplement work is in addition to the regular course requirements.  

About ACE Credit Recommendations

ACE credit recommendations are intended to guide colleges and universities as they consider awarding credit to persons who have successfully completed non-collegiate sponsored instruction. Credit recommendations may be used for allied health, health sciences, human biology, business management, healthcare administration and other related fields.

CMR Institute works directly with the ACE Registry of Credit Recommendations Transcript Service to provide documentation of completed courses. You may register online at https://www.acenet.edu/transcripts/. Note that it is not necessary to utilize the ACE Transcript Service if you are pursuing a graduate degree from one of CMR Institute’s university alliances.
