iowaguy Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Has anyone successfully transfered credits from your M.S. to your Ph.D. program in a similar field? Any issues with doing so? Would you recommend that a newbie PhD student try to do the same? I have a dozen or so grad credits from my M.S. that I could in theory transfer (same field of study). I'm thinking this might cut down on the # of classes I would have to take in my PhD program and would give me more time for research... Thoughts? Thanks in advance!
Quant_Liz_Lemon Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Ask you PI. I was able to transfer in all the grad classes I had taken during undergrad to my PhD.
Sconnie Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 From what I've been told I wont get credit for the classes (I will still have to take them in my PhD program again) but I do get 30 credits automatically. So while I will be repeating some coursework I will only have to compete 60 more credits.
