Can I transfer credits from other institutions and have them count towards the required number of credits for this program, waive any course requirements, or get credit for past coursework?
Course requirements may be waived based on the applicant’s undergraduate or other graduate coursework and at the discretion of advisors in the MA program in Sociology of Education. Waiving will allow students greater flexibility in pursuing coursework relevant to their specific interests. Six credits of advanced standing/transfer credit may be applied toward the MA degree. Any advanced standing/transfer credit is permitted at the discretion of program advisors. To receive approval for advanced standing/transfer credit, you need to submit a catalogue description of the course, including a syllabus, and have a grade of B or better. Coursework must have been completed no more than five years prior to the application for credit transferral. Only graduate-level courses may count towards the degree. No undergraduate credits may transfer, although some requirements may be waived based on the applicant’s undergraduate coursework, with an advisor’s approval, allowing other electives to be taken
