The maximum number of transfer credits that may be applied toward a master’s degree, subject to departmental approval is: • Four units in programs requiring 24-32 units • Eight units in programs requiring 33-40 units • Twelve units in programs requiring 41 or more units • A maximum of four units of transfer credit may be applied toward an approved dual degree program The same limits apply if a student wishes to transfer credits from any advanced degree previously completed at USC toward a master’s degree. Transfer work must have been completed within seven years of admission or readmission to a USC master’s degree program to be applied toward that degree. Students wishing to transfer coursework that is more than seven years old may request to do so, but they will need to demonstrate that the content is current.
