Transfer Credit

Although 6 points of transfer credit are allowed (not applicable to Human Rights Studies students), the courses transferred must be graduate courses, have a specific relationship to the program chosen, have been completed at the time of admission to the program, and may not have been used toward fulfillment of requirements for another degree. No credit is given for "life experience'' or for correspondence courses. Transfer credit must be approved by the admissions review committee. Once students are admitted, they must complete their course work at Columbia. A maximum of 12 points in courses taken at Columbia as a nonmatriculated student may be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree, with the approval of the admissions review committee.
