Students: Graduate Information
Transfer Credit
M.A., M.F.A., and Ph.D. students may receive transfer credit for graduate courses taken at other accredited universities if the Director of Graduate Studies deems those courses appropriate to our program. M.A. and M.F.A. students may apply up to 10 hours of transfer credit towards their degrees; for Ph.D. students, the maximum is 20 hours. Ph.D. students may transfer credits only from Ph.D.-granting universities. Students wishing to request transfer credit should complete the “Request for Transfer of Graduate Credit” form available in the Graduate School and the Graduate Studies Office. In addition, all graduate students may transfer 10 hours of graduate work done at Ohio State as a non-degree graduate student.
