As many as 9 credits earned in another accredited graduate program may be evaluated for transfer toward the doctor of musical arts (D.M.A.) degree after a student has completed 12 credits at Rutgers. No undergraduate credit or credit required for the student's master's degree may be transferred. No graduate credit will be accepted in transfer for courses in which the student received a grade below B. Any course for which a student requests transfer credit must be evaluated by the director of the graduate performance program and by the dean of Mason Gross School of the Arts. The responsibility for requesting transfer credit of graduate work lies with the student. A form for this purpose is available from the music department and the dean's office. The student should submit to the graduate director the completed form together with an official transcript of the graduate work for which credit is requested.
