Transfer of Credit
Transfer credits are only permitted in programs where the ability to transfer credits is specified in the program descriptions or if there are specific partner agreements that allow for transfer credits for students from specific academic programs. Students from partner universities may transfer up to 8 credits from a summer partner school. Students from partner universities are not permitted to study abroad during the fall or spring semester.
Students entering the Heller PhD program with graduate credits from Brandeis or another institution may petition the voting members of the PhD program committee for a reduction of the required course load of 60 credits by up to 12 credits. These petitions should be submitted no later than the fall of a student's second year in the program. Courses being transferred toward PhD degree program credit must carry a grade of B or better.
