Transfer of Credits
Students pursuing a master’s degree at The University of Findlay may transfer up to 12 semester hours of credit (completed with a grade of “B-” or better) for graduate work completed at an accredited institution toward a master’s degree. Any transfer of credit in excess of 12 semester hours must be reviewed by the program’s director and approved by the Graduate Student Academic Standards Committee. The Master of Science in Environmental, Safety and Health Management accepts up to nine semester hours of transfer credit with the approval of the program director. In rare cases when students have taken ESL Methodology courses at other institutions, the TESOL master’s program may transfer in a maximum of nine credit hours. For all other TESOL students, the maximum number of transferable hours is six.
Students pursuing a Doctor of Education degree at The University of Findlay may transfer up to 15 semester hours of credit (completed with a grade of “B-” or better) into one of the program’s elective strands for graduate work completed at another institution as long as the credit is equivalent to doctorate-level education courses offered in the chosen strand or if the coursework was completed at the master’s level and was not used to meet the student’s master-degree requirements.
