A student who is enrolled in a doctoral program and who is also enrolled in a master's degree program at Michigan State University may request the application of up to 9 credits, appropriate to both programs, from the doctoral program to the master's degree program, as well. Some colleges with programs that require more than 30 credits for the master’s degree may apply more than 9 credits toward the master’s degree but not more than 30% of the total number of credits required for the master’s degree. These credits must have been earned within the time limit for completing the master's degree program in which the student is enrolled.
See Credits in the General Information, Policies, Procedures and Regulations section of this catalog for additional information.
