^{*Prior graduate coursework can be considered for transfer credit only if it was completed within four years of the date of admission to the student’s current graduate program. Also, in order for a course to be considered for transfer credit from another institution, the student must have received a grade of B or better. Only courses which were not part of an earned graduate degree may be eligible for transfer (providing the maximum number of transfer hours and the course age requirements are met). A request for transfer can be considered formally only following admission to graduate study and upon receipt of an official transcript from the institution where the work was completed.}

Online certificate programs will be launching spring 2022. While a professional license is required, GRE scores are not needed to apply.
