UNMC/UNO MPH Program Transfer of Credit All graduate credits to be counted toward the satisfaction of requirements for the Master of Public Health (MPH) degree — including all credits transferred from other programs of the University of Nebraska and/or other institutions of higher education— must be approved by the MPH Graduate Program Committee and Dean for Graduate Studies. Up to one-third (14 credit hours) of the course work required for the MPH degree may be accepted from an accredited institution other than a unit of the University of Nebraska when the transfer is supported by the student's adviser and the Graduate Program Committee. Final approval will be made by the Dean for Graduate Studies. An official transcript must be forwarded to the Office of Graduate Studies documenting that course(s) were taken for graduate credit. Use of graduate credit earned for another degree will be treated in the same manner as transfer credit from another institution if applied to the requirements for the MPH degree. Up to one-third (14 credit hours) of the course work required for the MPH degree may consist of courses from a previous graduate degree. It is recommended that students order official transcripts of graduate work taken elsewhere and submit those to the MPH program office for review by graduate faculty upon application to the MPH program, but certainly no later than one semester before the student intends to graduate. Course syllabi will be reviewed by the Graduate Program Committee once the student has been admitted into the MPH program. Grades received in courses for transfer of credit must be the equivalent of "B" (3.00) or higher on the University of Nebraska grade scale. Transfer of graduate credits from a course taken with a pass/fail option must be recommended by the MPH Graduate Program Committee, supported by a written evaluation from the instructor and approved by the Dean for Graduate Studies. Requests for transferring in aged courses will be considered on a case by case basis, but generally speaking the MPH program requires that coursework be completed within 5 calendar years, allowing students to test for graduate credit if a course is aged-out/obsolete. All work accepted for transfer of credit must have been taken within this prescribed time limit. | ||||||||
