  School of Criminal Justice 2021-2023 Master of Arts Program Transfer Credits  

Transfer Credits
At least 24 of the 30 credits required for graduation must be taken at Rutgers University, School of Criminal Justice. Students who have taken graduate credits outside Rutgers but who have not applied them to another graduate degree may, after the successful completion of 12 credits, petition the M.A. Academic Oversight Committee to accept 6 credits toward the degree requirements. The following requirements must be met:
  • Courses must be related to the study of criminal justice;
  • A grade of B or better in the course being transferred is required; neither Pass nor Satisfactory is acceptable;
  • Courses may not include work for a thesis, independent study, or research;
  • Only graduate level courses will be accepted for transfer; and
  • The credits will not have been used towards another degree.
In applying for transfer credit, students must obtain an official transcript of the grades to be transferred and complete a transfer credit form, which is available in the SCJ Office of Academic Programs and Student Services. The transfer credit form and the official transcript must be submitted to the Office of Academic Programs and Student Services. The Registrar's Office will record the transfer of the credits on student transcripts if the transfer is approved.
Students interested in taking Rutgers graduate classes outside of SCJ will need to seek permission from the M.A. Program Director before enrolling in the class. Students will need to submit a written request and a copy of the course syllabus to the M.A. Program Director and/or the M.A. Academic Oversight Committee for review and approval.
  • Courses must be related to the study of criminal justice;
  • A grade of B or better in the course being transferred is required; neither Pass nor Satisfactory is acceptable;
  • Courses may not include work for a thesis, independent study or research;
  • Only graduate level courses will be accepted for transfer; and,

SCJ M.A. students with Rutgers graduate credits completed prior to admission may petition the M.A. Academic Oversight Committee to review up to 6 of these credits toward the degree requirements (same rules as immediately-above apply).
Non-degree students at SCJ admitted into the Master of Arts program may transfer up to 12 credits of graduate coursework toward their M.A. degree. SCJ graduate courses will only be eligible for transfer provided that students earned a grade of B or better.
