The Academic Program
Transfer Credit
Students may transfer into the MALS program a maximum of two of the required eight course units, excluding the thesis. Transfer credit may not be used to meet the minimum requirement of four units of ²ÊºçƵµÀ courses at the graduate level.
The Committee on Graduate Studies and the registrar review and approve all transfer requests; a preliminary review is suggested before enrollment in a course the student hopes to transfer.
The decision for granting credit will be based on a careful evaluation of the following materials:
- an official transcript recording the course(s),
- a petition from the student that includes such course details as professor name and title,
- and a course description and syllabus.
- If available, the student also should submit a course paper with instructor comments.
The course work must be from a regionally accredited college or university, may not be applied towards another degree, and should represent B or better work. Courses taken as a post-baccalaureate student should be comparable to at least upper-level undergraduate course work offered at ²ÊºçƵµÀ. Normally, all courses approved for transfer have been completed within the past five years.
