Transfer of Graduate Credit

Transfer of Graduate Credit

The transfer policy applies to all part-time programs.

The maximum number of credits earned at another accredited college or university, or at another school within Johns Hopkins University, that may be transferred into a graduate degree program in the Carey Business School in no case can exceed six credits. Any request for transfer credit must be submitted within the first semester. Only credits from external coursework taken prior to matriculation to the Carey Business School are eligible for transfer consideration. Coursework must be completed within the last 5 years and the student must have a “B+” or better in the completed coursework. Faculty Course Leads make the final decision on course equivalencies, but students should start the process with their academic advisor.

Current Carey Business School students will not be able to transfer any credits taken at another college or university taken after their initial matriculation. This includes students on a Leave of Absence or inactive students. 

A maximum of 6 credits may be transferred and the combination of transfer credits and course waivers may not exceed 10 credits.  The Waiver Exam policy is separate from the Transfer of Graduate Credit policy.
