Transfer during MA Program?


c123

Recommended Posts

I have just started my first year as a MA student in art history, and I wanted to know if it is common for students to transfer out of their MA program and into other universities after their first year? I am currently trying to see if this is an option and if it would hurt my chances as an applicant? 

Any advice or help would be great!

No, it's not common. Most MAs are two year programs and most graduate programs will only allow students to transfer in 9-12 credit hours. Consequently, it wouldn't be a transfer as much as it would be starting over since, at most, one of the two semesters you've already completed would count toward your degree at the new institution.
