GPA Requirements
A minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 is required to fulfill the department’s Ph.D. requirements, and to maintain satisfactory academic standing in the program.
External Credit Policies
The number of transfer credits allowed for each degree is delineated in the Bulletin. Transfer credit is allowed only for courses taken as a graduate student after receiving a bachelor’s degree, in which equivalence to Stanford courses is established and a grade of B or better has been awarded. Transfer credits, if approved, reduce the total number of Stanford units required for a degree.
