Please note that NJU accepts up to six courses of transfer credit from accredited graduate schools under the following conditions:
- All transferred courses must be from nationally or regionally accredited schools that are authorized to confer graduate degrees. The transferred courses must have been taken as part of a program that leads to a graduate degree.
- The student must have earned a grade or "C" or better (or its equivalent in the event of a course that is not awarded a letter grade).
- Transferred courses may substitute for core courses only if they are substantially similar to NJU courses for which they are being substituted.
- Transferred courses may replace elective courses if they are substantially related to the degree that the student is seeking.
Determination as to whether a course is substantially similar to a specific NJU course or whether a course is substantially related to the degree that the student is seeking is left to the discretion of NJU.
