Transfer Course Credits

Transfer Course Credits

Doctoral Programs

Students starting a doctoral program in the Division of the Humanities with graduate level course work completed outside of the university may petition the department to have previous course work counted toward the program requirements. By divisional policy at least half of the course work must be accomplished within the department. The departmental faculty will determine whether the student will receive credit towards the degree for each previous course completed outside of the department. Each department may determine the maximum number of courses for which a student may receive course credit. 

Master's Programs

Students starting a master’s program in the Division of the Humanities with graduate level course work completed at the Graduate Student-at-Large program in the Graham School of Continuing and Professional Studies may petition the program to have previous course work counted toward the program requirements. The program will evaluate and determine whether the student will receive credit towards the degree for any of the previous course work completed at the Graham School of Continuing and Professional Studies for up to and no more than two courses. Other graduate level course work completed outside of the program is not eligible for course credit toward the program requirements.
