to the Dean of the Graduate school requesting permission to
transfer up to 6 graduate quarter credits taken while a graduate
student in another recognized Graduate school to be applied
toward the master's degree here. These credits cannot have been
used to fulfill the requirements of a previous degree. The
petition must be accompanied by a written recommendation from
the Departmental Education Director.
It is the responsibility of the student to ensure that all
requirements are satisfied well before the expected graduation
date. In order to check this students are required to:
- prepare a coursework plan
- verify it with the checklist
- obtain approval from their Department or educational Office
of the school, before the end of their first quarter in the
M.S. program.
2) Ph.D. Degrees:
The Doctor of Philosophy degree (Ph.D.) is intended for
candidates with a high level of scholarship or personal finance
support and with the ability and desire to conduct independent
and original research in their chosen field of interest. A
graduate student can become a candidate for the Ph.D. degree
only by meeting definite requirements and standards of the
Graduate school, Department and Program. The student’s first
step is to obtain a Master’s degree. A student pursuing a
master’s degree within the Department who displays unusual
capability may be encouraged by his/her Master’s Department to
continue to work toward the Doctorate. Students may also be
accepted directly into a Ph.D. degree program if they have
received a Master’s degree from an accredited university and
have been highly recommended by their previous program faculty
to pursue a Doctor of Philosophy degree.
