As many as 9 credits of doctoral-level academic coursework earned in another accredited doctoral 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 or master-level credit may be transferred to the D.M.A. No graduate transfer credit will be accepted 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 the dean of Mason Gross School of the Arts. The student may be required to provide a syllabus for the course they wish to transfer. 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 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.
