Changing from One Degree Program to Another

A student who wishes to transfer from one degree program to another must submit a Degree Change request form to the Office of the Registrar, which will consult with the appropriate department(s) before rendering any decisions. Credits earned in the original program may apply to the new program if, in the opinion of the Registrar and the Program Director, they are appropriate to the new degree. Academic performance in any and all graduate coursework will be considered in appeals to transfer between degree programs. Students who have failed to earn a degree after attempting a comprehensive examination twice—or after failing to complete satisfactorily a field work project, capstone, software project or thesis—may not transfer credits earned in that program to another degree program.
