The maximum number of graduate credits that could be transferred into the program is 30, but it's contingent on the contents, and it’s all case by case. Once you're admitted to the program, the core faculty members will review your request for transferring credits by reviewing the course syllabi, your final grades obtained from those courses, etc. Courses that have been taken more than 5 years ago won't be transferred.

Doctoral students are required to complete a minimum of 96 academic credits during four to six years of study. Students entering the program with a master's degree in counseling or a related field can transfer in up to 30 credits of coursework and will require at least three years of coursework followed by at least one year of doctoral internship. Students entering without a master's degree in counseling or a related field will require at least four years of coursework with at least one year of doctoral internship.
