Policies

Furthermore, as is often the case, students coming into the OGS doctoral program (DSL or PhD) with Transfer Credits or Advanced Standing, may be required to audit certain courses to enable the student to experience the OGS tutorial method and sociological perspective on research.

Applicants may receive transfer credit for up to three graduate level courses from an institution accredited by an agency recognized by the United States Department of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation. Credits accepted for transfer toward a degree at OGS are granted with a one-to-one correlation with courses in the OGS course of study. Each situation will be evaluated on an individual basis.

You should also contact any educational institutions that you may want to transfer credits earned at Omega Graduate School to determine if such institutions will accept credits earned at Omega Graduate School prior to executing an enrollment contract or agreement. The ability to transfer credits from Omega Graduate School may be very limited. It is highly recommended, and you are advised to make certain you know the transfer of credit policy of Omega Graduate School before executing an enrollment contract or agreement. Additionally, should you wish to transfer credits to another institution in the future, you are advised to be familiar with other educational institutions' requirements regarding credit transfer.

Applicants may transfer up to nine semester hours with a one-to-one correlation with courses in OGS course of study from an acceptable master’s program. Applicants without a Bachelor’s degree may request an “Assessment of Prior Learning” to determine eligibility to enter the Master’s program.
