Policies

A grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.3 (B+) is required to be maintained across all letter grade courses taken, and all courses taken toward the degree must receive a grade of 3.3 (B+) or higher in order to count towards program requirements.

Students who completed graduate coursework at another institution are expected to transfer course units in the winter quarter of their first year of doctoral study. The Director of Graduate Studies will evaluate the transfer of units on a course-by-course basis. Graduate work accepted for transfer of residency does not automatically exempt a student from having to complete a course requirement for the degree.
