MA Transfer Credit Criteria
Students may request to transfer in units of prior graduate work offered at other institutions if the classes are similar to courses offered in the PAU program. Prior coursework cannot be more than 5 years old. Transfer coursework is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Students must submit a course description and syllabus for each transfer course. A PAU faculty member then reviews the documentation, and either accepts or rejects the course for transfer credit. Students may transfer prior graduate units within limits. Up to 9 semester units or 13.5 quarter units can be transferred in from another institution. Note, however, that any potential transfer credits must be reviewed and approved. Transfer credit requests must be made after receiving program admission and no later than the end of the first quarter.
In accordance with the CACREP Guiding Statement on Best Practices for Transfer of Credit students must “… complete all clinical courses, where counseling skills, client interaction, and clinical competencies are supervised and evaluated, within the CACREP-accredited program from which they plan to graduate.”
