Transfer Credits

Person entering transfer credits in MMED program into a computer

Credits earned in another program may be eligible for transfer into the online Master of Music in Music Education program. If you wish to transfer credits, you must submit a petition for credit transfer during your first term of the program.

If you have a master’s degree in a related field, you may transfer up to 9 semester hours of completed graduate-level courses with an earned grade of B or higher upon approval of the supervisory committee and the Dean of the Graduate School. These credits must have been earned in the five years prior to joining the program and be no older than seven years at the point of graduation from UF.

If you have taken some graduate courses at UF, but have not earned your degree, you may transfer up to 15 credits of graduate-level courses taken at UF (with an earned grade of B or higher) if the course has not already been used toward an undergraduate degree. These credits may include up to nine credits from institutions approved by UF, with the balance obtained from post-baccalaureate work at the University of Florida. Credits transferred from other universities may be applied toward the degree requirements, but grades earned will not be computed into your grade point average
