Transfer of Credit

A maximum of 30 acceptable graduate credits taken at other institutions may be applied toward the doctoral degree, provided the courses were completed with a grade of B or higher within an appropriate period of time and are equivalent to comparable courses at the City University. In the case of master’s programs, a total of 12 credits may be approved for transfer. Requests for transfer of credits should be initiated with the program. In the case of uncertainty, the Office of the Provost will make the final determination of the acceptance or denial of transfer credit.
