Incoming students are eligible to receive up to 20 units of transfer credit based on the following qualifications:

• Transfer courses must be either taken post-master in a regionally accredited institution or they must be part of a formal articulation agreement with a regionally accredited masters program.
• Courses must be taken within the last 5 years.
• Grades in the courses must be "B" or better (3.0 or better on a 4 point scale).
• Courses must be judged to be equivalent to a current elective knowledge area in the current program curriculum. Transfer credit may not be applied to the foundational/required knowledge area courses. Generally, three related courses must be transferred at 3 or 4 credits each in order to be equivalent to one HOD knowledge area.
• In order to meet doctoral education standards, there must be at least one scholarly paper required from within the courses transferred. Essays, examinations and reports can be accepted for the remainder of the assessment equivalency.
• The program will also consider awarding transfer credit for workforce courses evaluated by the American Council on Education (ACE) National Guide to College Credit for Workforce Training program.

Transfer credits will be awarded at the time of admission to the graduate program. There will be no retroactive granting of transfer credits for students currently in the program.

Regarding work completed in graduate programs that are accredited through systems other than the regional accrediting bodies, such coursework may not be transferred. Rather, the program will consider waivers of requirements. Please consult the Exemptions from Requirements policy (link below).
