Transfer Policy

Graduate-level courses can be transferred if done at the graduate level and if from a comparable university. The rigor of courses can vary with institutions, to maintain excellence and student success, we prefer our students take all courses at Howard. Providing a transcript and course description is required to transfer courses. The number of transfer credits is individualized based on the institution, course, course syllabi, and description. A maximum of six credits can be transferred from another institution.
