TRANSFER CREDIT

On a case-by-case basis, a student may petition to have graduate credit from an accredited college or university counted as the equivalent of another course in the curriculum and accepted as transfer credit.

In such cases, a student will have to supply a course syllabus to ensure that the content in the course taken at another university is equivalent to the content of the course in the master’s curriculum. A course with a similar name or the same name as a course offered at Boston University does not necessarily mean that the content of the course is similar enough to accept it as transfer credit to our program.

Students must be fully admitted to the program before graduate credit from another university will be evaluated by the School of Visual Arts faculty.

Note: Students can transfer a maximum of 8 credits (courses not previously applied to a degree)
