Credit for graduate-level courses taken elsewhere may   be accepted toward the master of philosophy degree under the conditions   outlined under Transfer of Credit in the description   of Ph.D. requirements. It is a special requirement for the master of philosophy degree, however, that in at least   one-quarter of the courses for which transfer of credit is desired the   student must have earned a grade of A or its equivalent. Further   restrictions concerning the transfer of credit may be found in the   Academic Policies and Procedures chapter.
