Admissions - Transfer Students

Applicants for master's degrees who have completed a portion of their graduate training at another institution are eligible for admission but may not transfer for credit more than six semester hours of coursework. The minimum grade allowed for transferring courses is "B".

The above limitation does not apply to applicants for a PhD degree. An official release letter is required from the applicant's current institution. In addition, one of the three required recommendations must be from the students' advisor or mentor who has knowledge of the applicant's academic performance and supports the applicant's request for transfer. The applicant should also outline the reason for the transfer in the personal statement. In addition, it is recommended that the applicant contact the director/recruiter of the program of study to which he or she wishes to make application to discuss the circumstances of the transfer.
