Note: This rule for LSMA students supersedes the preceding rule for free-standing M.A. programs.
The following rule applies only to students in the LSMA programs in American Studies, East Asian Studies, Islamic Studies, Jewish Studies, Medieval Studies, Modern European Studies, and South Asian Studies. It does not apply to students in the LSMA Human Rights Studies program; no advanced standing is granted to Human Rights students for courses taken outside Columbia University.
For students in the seven LSMA programs listed above, up to six points of transfer credit are allowed for courses taken outside the University. The courses transferred must be graduate-level courses, have a specific relationship to the program chosen, and have been completed at the time of admission to the program. They 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 all their remaining course work at Columbia.
In all eight LSMA programs, a maximum of 12 points in courses taken at Columbia as a non-degree student in the school of Continuing Education may be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree, with the approval of the admissions review committee.
