Graduate Transfer Credit

A maximum of six graduate credits taken not more than five years before matriculation to a master's or doctoral program at Eastman may be accepted if the subjects are integral to the student’s program of study, and if the student has received a grade of B or above. These six credits must be for coursework beyond the 30-credit master’s degree. Academic credit, such as music history or music theory, may be eligible for transfer. Normally, no transfer credit is given for applied music or ensemble taken at another institution.

Following admission, students seeking transfer credit should submit an official transcript and other supporting documentation (such as papers, projects, assignments, a syllabus, etc.) to the appropriate department chair for approval. The chair then sends his or her evaluation of the materials to the associate dean of graduate studies, who will forward them to the Graduate Research Committee for approval at the same time the student proposes his or her program of study.
