Students may be allowed to apply the graduate credits they earn while undergraduates at Duquesne towards a Duquesne graduate degree in one of two ways: 1) by being officially admitted into a non-entry-level combined or joint-degree bachelor’s/master’s degree program or 2) by request when students are admitted into a master’s program at Duquesne. Students officially admitted into non-entry-level combined Bachelor’s/Master’s degree programs may earn the combined bachelor’s/master’s degrees at an accelerated pace—typically within five years—by counting up to 15 credits of graduate-level courses taken while an undergraduate student towards the master’s degree. No more than one graduate degree can be earned as a combined degree.

Credit by Examination/Challenge Examinations Credit by examination/challenge examinations are examinations for recognition of proficiency and credit in a subject area. These examinations are available only to currently enrolled students who by previous experience or exposure have acquired mastery of the subject matter. The examinations should be taken at least one semester prior to the semester in which the student is expected to take the course. Some departments do not offer courses through credit by examination. Under no circumstances may any clinical education course be taken through credit by examination. Each department will determine which, if any, courses can be challenged and will administer its own examinations. Students who are interested in taking a challenge examination must contact either the professor for that course or the Department Chair at least one semester prior to the semester in which the course is offered. A passing grade will be determined by the Department Chair. Applications for credit by examination may be obtained from the Office of the University Registrar. A per credit fee will be charged at time of application. Advanced standing credits will be awarded for successful completion of these exams.

The student must be admitted to degree-seeking status before transfer credit will be awarded. Transfer credit must be approved by the appropriate program director. A maximum of 6 credits may be accepted in transfer toward a master's degree of 30 credits. For master's degrees of more than 30 credits, no more than 25% of the total semester hours for the degree may be accepted in transfer. For a doctoral degree, no more than 33% of the total semester hours, excluding dissertation credits, for the degree may be accepted in transfer. An exception to the doctoral transfer credit limit may be granted if the student has an accredited graduate degree that the relevant school accepts as a building block for the program of study to be completed at Duquesne. A course with fewer credits than its Duquesne equivalent may be transferred but will be awarded credit based on the original credit value of the course. A course with more credits than its Duquesne equivalent will be awarded credit based on the Duquesne credit value for the course. Professional graduate programs, at both the master's and doctoral levels, may accept transfer credit in accordance with commonly accepted practice for their academic discipline within higher education as promoted by their professional accrediting body or learned society and as allowed under University accreditation requirements. Transfer credit will be revoked if a student subsequently enrolls and earns credit for the same course at Duquesne.

Transfer (Advanced Standing) Credits Students may transfer from other universities, including online universities, and other graduate programs at Duquesne, up to 12 credits into 60-credit master's programs. Only courses with grades of "A" or "B" will be considered for transfer, provided the courses are within the program requirements. Credits that transfer will appear on a student's transcript but the grade the student earned for courses that are transferred are not calculated as part of their grade point average (GPA) at Duquesne. Course grades lower than a "B", or courses for which students receive a pass/fail grade, cannot be transferred. Also, because of the specificity of the CACREP program area standards, students cannot complete the "program area" courses at other universities.

Transfer Credits Transfer credits are not accepted and advanced standing is not awarded for the M.A. program. Please note that this Philosophy graduate transfer credit policy is more limited than the general Graduate School policy.

Transfer Credits Students entering the PhD program with previous MAs in philosophy are invited to request credit transfers at two points: Year 1 spring semester (transfer up to 9 credits) and Year 2 spring semester (transfer up to nine additional credits, 18 total). Credit transfers approvals are contingent on maintaining performance and meeting timeline deadline. Their approval advances program progress expectations and deadlines as per the departmental Progress Toward Degree Assessment policy.

Transfer Credits from Junior or Community Colleges The College will transfer a maximum of 60 academically acceptable credits from accredited junior or community colleges.

Transfer Credits toward the Major A minimum of 18 semester hours in the major must be taken in residence at Duquesne University. However, individual departments may require a greater number of major credit hours taken in residence. After a student has declared a major in the College, any course the student wishes to take at another institution to fulfill a major requirement must have the major department's prior approval.

Transfer Credits/Advanced Standing After a reasonable period has elapsed to observe performance at Duquesne, the Chair may approve the transfer of up to 9 credits of prior graduate coursework in philosophy. In some cases, larger transfers may be allowed for philosophy coursework completed at non-U.S. institutions. Please note that this Philosophy graduate transfer credit policy is more limited than the general Graduate School policy. Students accepted to the Ph.D. from our own M.A. program may count all M.A. coursework toward the Ph.D. credit requirement.

Transfer credit may be granted based on completion of coursework at U.S. institutions that are (or were at the time coursework was completed) fully accredited by one of the nation's regional accrediting associations. Credit may also be awarded for completed coursework at tertiary-level international institutions formally recognized by that country's accrediting body, ministry of education, or its equivalent. Transfer and advanced-standing credit may also be earned through exams and approved prior training as described below. Awarding of Transfer and Advanced-Standing Credit Transfer credit and advanced-standing credit will only be awarded based on the receipt and evaluation of official transcripts and/or test scores. First-time freshmen and undergraduate transfer students should send official transcripts to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. International students should send official transcripts, credential evaluations, and related documents, to the Office of International Programs. (All new, incoming students should verify any additional requirements as described in the Admissions/International Admissions sections of this catalog.) All transfer and advanced-standing credit is recorded with a grade of "T," which carries no quality points and therefore is not included in the grade point average. Students may be granted transfer credit or advanced-standing credit according to the various means and regulations described below. Policies at the school level may vary, and students are subject to additional regulations and any restrictions or limitations imposed at the school level. Transfer and advanced-standing credit may be granted based on: Coursework completed at regionally-accredited colleges or universities or comparable tertiary-level international institutions Advanced Placement® (AP) exams administered by the College Board College Level Examination Program® (CLEP) administered by The College Board Completion of military training, education, and occupational experiences through The Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support (DANTES) program as reflected on the Joint Service Transcript (JST) based on American Council on Education (ACE) recommendations International Baccalaureate® program College in High School (regionally-accredited institutions only; not available in all schools) Professional education and training based on American Council on Education (ACE) recommendations (not available in all schools) Duquesne University Credit-by-Examination (not available in all schools) Credit for experiential learning (not available in all schools) Currently-Enrolled Duquesne Students Enrolled Duquesne University students seeking to take courses elsewhere for transfer toward their Duquesne degree must first meet with their advisor and obtain written permission to do so. Courses must be taken at a regionally-accredited college or university and must be passed with a grade of "C" (or 2.0 on a 4.0 scale) or better. Schools may impose stricter requirements based on the student's program of study and the nature of the course. If prior approval is not obtained, the school reserves the right to deny the awarding of credit. Currently-enrolled Duquesne students who obtained permission to take courses elsewhere should send official transcripts to their academic advisor. Regulations The following minimum requirements apply to the evaluation and awarding of transfer and advanced-standing credit. Students must also consult with their schools to determine if school-level policies vary from the university-level requirements. Some educational and articulation agreements may vary, and the requirements and stipulations of such agreements will prevail. Credit that does not apply toward the Duquesne University degree will not be accepted in transfer. Courses taken at an institution using units or credits other than semester credits will be converted to semester credits upon transfer. Bachelor's degree candidates are required to complete a minimum of 30 credits in residence at Duquesne University. In addition, the last 30 credits of a student's program must be completed in residence at Duquesne University. Any student seeking to take any of the last 30 credits at another institution must seek approval of the school's Student Standing Committee or dean. Such students who expect to graduate are advised to seriously consider whether or not to enroll elsewhere in their last semester, as any delay in the receipt of official transcripts may delay the awarding of the degree. Transfer credit evaluations, course equivalencies, and applicability of such coursework toward the Duquesne program of study are determined at the school level. For courses completed at regionally-accredited colleges or universities and international institutions, a minimum course grade of "C" (2.0 on a 4.0 scale) is required. Credit will not be granted for a grade of "P" (Pass) or its equivalent unless the "P" grade is equivalent to a "C" (or 2.0 on a 4.0 scale) or better. A maximum of 60 credits may be transferred from a two-year regionally-accredited institution (or its equivalent). A maximum of 90 credits may be transferred from a four-year regionally-accredited institution (or its equivalent). A maximum of 90 total credits may be awarded as transfer or advanced-standing credit, including but not limited to college transfer credit, DANTES/JST credit, CLEP, AP, and credit-by-exam. Current or returning students who have earned, or will have earned, a total of 60 credits at Duquesne must seek approval of their dean to take additional coursework from any two-year institution. Students who have failed or withdrawn from a Duquesne course may not subsequently receive CLEP credit for that course. JST credit, if awarded, may only count as elective credit toward a student's program of study. A course that is taken for fewer credits than its Duquesne equivalent may be transferred but will be awarded credit based on the original credit value of the course. The transfer of this course may fulfill a program requirement but result in fewer credits applied toward the degree; it will not lower the minimum credits required to graduate. Any such credit deficiencies must be fulfilled in order for a student to graduate. A course that is taken for more credits than its Duquesne equivalent will be awarded credit based on the Duquesne credit value for the course. Any remaining credits for that course cannot be transferred as general elective credits. Transfer credit and advanced-standing credit will be revoked if a student subsequently enrolls and earns credit for the same course at Duquesne.
