TRANSFER OF CREDIT POLICY FOR GRADUATE TRANSFER STUDENTS

Credits-in-common between University graduate degrees
A maximum of 24 graduate course credits may be counted in common between two University master's degrees.

Transferring graduate course credits from outside the University
Graduate course credits earned at other accredited institutions may be transferred to master’s plans subject to approval by the University’s Office of Academic Affairs and the limits described below. In the case of a transfer from a non-United States institution, graduate course credits to be transferred must have been earned in a program judged by a NACES approved agency to be comparable to a graduate degree program of a regionally accredited institution in the United States.

For master’s degrees – A minimum of 50% of total course credits required for a specific master’s degree must be taken at the University. Transferred credits can include a maximum of 12 graduate course credits taken as non-degree seeking or non-admitted status.

Applying graduate credits across University graduate programs
Graduate course credits earned while enrolled in one University graduate program may be applied to another University graduate program. The number of graduate course credits applied is determined by the graduate program to which the student is applying. A maximum of 15 graduate course credits from other University registration categories, such as non-degree seeking or non-admitted students, may be considered for transfer once the student is admitted and enrolled in a graduate program.

There are a number of financial considerations students should keep in mind. Students are responsible for paying the difference between undergraduate and graduate tuitions.
