Transfer credits for Ph.D. students can be awarded on a course-by-course basis, or an M.S. degree from another institution may be accepted for transfer in toto. In the former case, a maximum of 48 credits of appropriate graduate work may be transferred. The latter requires a recommendation from the department’s Graduate Committee, and the approval of the department head. Transfer credits are generally awarded at the time of admission, and must be approved by the Academic Advisor, the transportation Graduate Coordinator, and the department head.
