Can credits from previous graduate work be transferred toward the doctoral degree?
The program does not accept transfer courses to the doctoral program. You may request a waiver of a course in the doctoral program, if you have already taken the course in a counseling psychology program from a recognized accredited institution. The Counseling Psychology Program at Howard University will waive up to two (2) courses from a previous, accredited institution with a grade of B or better into the Ph.D. program, dependent on the approval of the Program faculty. Official transcripts, the course syllabus and a Waiver of Required Courses form (see Appendices, p. 48) must accompany any request for a transfer of credits. If a course is waived, an elective may be required in lieu of the waived course based on the recommendation of the student’s advisory committee to meet the minimum number of credit hours for the Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology.
