MS to PhD Transfer

Admission to the PhD program is conditional, and requires an application, competency exam and interview. You must maintain passing grades in all of your required coursework, and pass your research comprehensive exam, to be qualified to transition to the PhD program.

Please note that should you choose to switch from the PhD Prep Concentration to the Generalist Concentration, then graduate, you will not have met the requirements to start the PhD program. You will need to return to the University as a non-matriculated student to complete the required courses. Additional units will need to be paid out of pocket.
