Transfer Credits
Matriculated masters and advanced certification program students may transfer credits. Appropriate graduate-level courses completed at other institutions, up to a maximum of six credits, provided that the coursework was taken within the last ten years, is determined by the faculty to be appropriate for their program, may be accepted towards a degree. Each course must have been completed with at least a grade of B+ at an accredited institution of higher learning within a five-year period of matriculation and must be directly related to the candidate's proposed program of study. Candidates should file a written request with the School of Education to have course credits considered for transfer. If at all possible, such requests should be made in advance of taking the course.
Additional credits beyond the maximum of six from selected institutions will be considered in very limited instances at the discretion of the college. We apply this largely to students transferring from our immediate regional competitors, notably LIU-Westchester and Fordham-Westchester.
