With the approval of the Graduate School and at the discretion of the unit, students may transfer up to and including 24 hours from a 精品SM在线影片 graduate certificate program, taken as a 精品SM在线影片 non-degree student, toward a graduate degree.聽

The following rules apply to transferring credit to 精品SM在线影片 graduate programs:聽

    • Master鈥檚 (except MFA): 9 semester hours
    • MFA: 18 semester hours
    • Doctoral: 21 semester hours
  2. Work already applied toward a graduate degree received from 精品SM在线影片 or another institution cannot be accepted for transfer toward another graduate degree of the same level at 精品SM在线影片.
