Transfer Students
The PGA Golf Management program at Sam Houston State University is designed as a freshman entry program. Transfer students will be handled on a case-by-case basis. Due to the PGA Education being set up as a cohort program, regardless of how many hours that you transfer into SHSU, the program will take four and a half years to complete. We have found that approximately 30 hours of completed credit is the maximum to enter into the program. Once a student is over this threshold it would be faster for them to become a PGA Member through the traditional PGA Apprentice program.

Academic Common Market
The Academic Common Market is a tuition-savings program for college students in the 16 member states who want to pursue degrees, including PGA Golf Management, that are not offered by their in-state institutions. Students can enroll in out-of-state institutions that offer their degree program and pay the institution's in-state tuition rates.
Residents of Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Georgia, Louisiana, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia can qualify for in-state tuition rates because none of these states offer a PGA accredited PGA Golf Management program.
