Applicants to or enrollees of the NSU-COM M.P.H. Program may petition for transfer of a maximum of 12 credit hours of elective or core courses from a regionally accredited graduate program toward their M.P.H. degree. The core courses must have been taken at a program, school, or college accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH).

Any courses taken at another academic program or institution that the student wants to transfer to meet the requirements of this M.P.H. degree program must have the prior approval of the program director. All courses considered for transfer into the program must have been successfully completed with a grade of B (80) or better and must not have been applied to another awarded degree. Transfer course grades are not calculated toward the student’s grade point average.

The course transfer applicant must submit a written request to the program director, along with the appropriate verification documents (i.e., official transcripts, syllabi, and catalogs). The curriculum committee will review all applications for transfer of credit, including the documents provided on the petitioned courses. The committee will submit its recommendations to the program director who makes the final decision. The program does not give course credit for prior work experience.
