Students who have taken graduate courses at other universities can have up to 8 credit hours transferred toward the MA in Sociology, subject to the approval of the Department and Graduate School. Students who have taken courses at IU Bloomington may transfer up to 18 credit hours toward the degree at IU Indianapolis; a residency requirement applies in which the last half of the required credits for the degree must be taken at the Indianapolis campus. Only courses with a B or higher may be transferred from other institutions. Double counting courses towards degrees will not be allowed. Also, this means that a course needed for another degree cannot simultaneously count for the MA. But a graduate course taken as an undergraduate, which was not needed to meet requirements of the bachelor’s degree, may be used for the MA. In addition, such courses need to have been taken within five years of completing your MA degree with us. Please contact the Director of Graduate Studies after you are admitted if you want to request to transfer credits.
