For Graduate Programs
Graduate programs in health sciences may allow the transfer of up to 33% of the required credit hours for graduation.
Graduate programs in business, education, and Shakespeare and Performance may allow the transfer of up to six total credit hours.
Transfer credit from another accredited graduate program will be considered only if all the following conditions are met:
- The associate dean or program director determines based on catalog and course materials submitted by the student that the course content is identifiable with the aims and philosophies of the graduate curriculum.
- The credit was earned in a regionally accredited graduate program.
- The credit was earned no earlier than three calendar years before the student’s admission to the program, and a grade of B or better was earned.
The student is responsible for determining in advance of enrollment whether courses taken in the graduate program can be transferred to another graduate program or will satisfy credential requirements the student intends to meet, including requirements outside of Virginia. After the drop deadline, a determination that courses are not transferable is not grounds for refund of tuition or fees.
Additional Notes:
- Transfer credits for the Post-Master's and Post-Bachelor's certificates in ABA will not be accepted.
- Due to differing requirements, degree seeking students in ABA & Autism Studies programs should consult their program's departmental handbook for more detail regarding transfer credit acceptance.
- Because MBU’s S&P program is, by its nature, different from many other English and theatre graduate programs, program transcripts are accompanied by a “key” noting course similarities to more standard English and theatre courses.
