Transfer Credits
Students pursuing a Master of
Arts degree may have up to eight (8) quarter units or six
(6) semester units of graduate coursework, which must be
earned at an approved or regionally accredited institution,
transferred to CIHS. Credits and degrees earned overseas
must be translated into English and evaluated by an approved
U.S. agency such as World Education Services (WES).
Students intending to pursue a
Ph.D. degree must hold a master's degree or equivalent. Up
to thirty (30) semester units or forty-five (45) quarter
units of graduate work are accepted for transfer. This rule
does not apply to students in the Ph.D. in Clinical
Psychology. If an applicant is accepted into the Ph.D.
program without a master's degree or equivalent, the student
is required to make up for the missing credits by taking
extra courses.
Even if an applicant already
holds a Master's degree, the Institute may request that
coursework at the master’s level be taken in order to
prepare the student for the Ph.D. program. The rules and
regulations concerning the transfer of graduate credits are
set forth by the California Education Code and are regulated
by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational
Education (Note: Authority cited, Article 16, 71865, General
Provisions a, b1, b2, c, d.).
The Institute does not evaluate,
accepts, or awards graduate credits based on professional
experience.
Students are required to submit
official academic transcripts to the Admissions Committee
for evaluation. The committee will decide whether to accept
or not the student’s request for transfer credit. Besides
academic transcripts, the student may be required to submit
documents such as academic catalogues of the schools he or
she attended, course syllabi, bibliography, or even letters
from instructors or program chairs.
Graduate credits seven years or
older will not qualify for transfer credit, with the
exception that the student can prove the validity and
relevance of subject matter to the degree program or
doctoral research.
