Credits toward the degree for courses taken at other institutions may be awarded under certain conditions and must be approved by the student's program administrator and the Office of Academic Services. The number of credits transferred from a non-NYU institution is the number of credits given by that institution for the courses.
Only those courses completed prior to enrollment at Wagner will be considered. The courses must be appropriate to the degree sought, not be credited toward another degree or certificate, and have been completed with a grade of B or better at an institution of established academic reputation. Coursework must have been taken within the last 5 years (except for doctoral students) in order to be considered for transfer.
A maximum of 28 credits can be transferred toward the MPA and MUP degrees; a maximum of 8 transfer credits toward the MS degree; and a maximum of 40 credits toward the doctoral degree.
Decisions regarding transfer credits are not made prior to matriculation.
NOTES: Transfer credits will not be accepted toward the Advanced Professional Certificate. Students may not take courses at institutions other than NYU while enrolled at Wagner and have those courses counted towards their Wagner degree.
Wagner will waive one credit for each three-credit course and one-half credit for each one and one-half credit course taken at an NYU graduate program that is on the three-credit system.
