Credit for graduate courses may be transferred to Indiana University. You must have received at least a B in each course you wish to transfer. If the graduate course was taken while you were an undergraduate you must prove that it was not applied toward your undergraduate degree.
A maximum of 8 credit hours may be transferred for the M.A. or M.A.T. degree from a previous institution; up to 30 credit hours may be applied toward the Ph.D. degree.
For the M.A. degree each transfer course must be completed no more than 5 years prior to the awarding of the degree; for the Ph.D. degree, transfer courses must be completed no more than 7 years prior to the date of passing the departmental qualifying examinations.
To initiate a transfer of credit, consult the director of graduate studies, who must support your request and submit it to the Graduate School for final approval. Transferred courses do not count toward any distribution requirements unless specifically authorized by the director of graduate studies.
