What is the policy for transfer credits?
The Mineral and Energy Economics Committee at CSM must review and approve all graduate level-transfer credits. These credits must not have been used as credit towards a Bachelor Degree. The Committee allows up to 6 hours of approved graduate-level course work to be transferred from other graduate programs towards a non-thesis Masters Degree and up to 9 hours towards a thesis based program. The Committee allows up to 24 credits of approved graduate-level course work towards a Ph.D degree. However, the average number of approved transfer hours for a PhD student is 12. For those students with a completed Master Degree in another program, the Committee allows up to 36 credits of approved graduate-level course work towards a Ph.D. Transfer credits taken outside of CSM are not included in calculating the student’s grade point average at CSM.
