Transferring Credits

Incoming graduate students may transfer credits from:

bullet

Other accredited colleges or universities - as many as 9 semester credits of graduate work (excluding research and thesis credits)

bullet

MSU Lifelong Education Program - as many as 10 semester credits earned at MSU while enrolled through the Lifelong Education program

bulletMSU Post-BA Teacher Certification Program - the 6 credits earned in TE 802 and TE 804

Credits will be transferred only if: (a) the course is appropriate to the student's academic program; (b) the course was completed within the time limits for earning of the degree desired at MSU; and (c) the student earned a grade of at least 3.0 in the course.

Decisions about transfer credits rest with the student's MSU guidance committee; therefore, a decision about transfer credits is not made until the student has been admitted to the graduate program and has formed and met with the guidance committee. Prospective students are strongly encouraged to consult with their likely mentors in the Department of Kinesiology regarding course selection whenever possible.

The Lifelong Education program provides prospective students with an opportunity to enroll in MSU courses before entry into a KIN graduate program. Some prospective students enroll in courses with lifelong education status so that they can: (a) begin to take credits before formal admission to the program or (b) prove that they are prepared for graduate study.

For more information, consult the Doctoral Programs and Master's Programs information from MSU Academic Programs Catalog and the MSU Lifelong Education Program information posted on the Office of the Registrar web site.
