Policy:

Credit by Transfer

Graduate credit may be transferred from another accredited graduate school and applied to a program of study with the approval of the student’s department.

Only work graded B or higher may be transferred. A course in which a grade of Pass was earned cannot be used as a transfer course.

No courses taken for undergraduate credit at Pittsburg State University or from another institution may be transferred to Pittsburg State University to count towards a Master’s degree. Pittsburg State University does not accept graduate-level credit for life/work experience as transfer graduate credit.

For the Specialist in Education degree programs, course work for transfer or waiver must be from an institution offering post-master’s degree study.
