Course Requirements: |
This section of your program of study will identify the courses you need to take in order to complete your program. Required courses, available choices, and guidelines for selecting electives, have already been filled in for your convenience. |
To complete this section, you need to do the following (after meeting with your advisor to discuss these decisions): |
- Whenever there is a choice, please mark your selection. All courses and electives counted toward a Warner graduate degree must be at the graduate level. For electives, write in the course numbers and titles you have selected. Please note that these decisions should always be made in consultation with your advisor.
- For each course, indicate in the To Be Taken column the semester and year (e.g., F17; Sp18; Su18) when you plan to take that course. For your convenience, whenever a course has prerequisites, these are listed in square brackets following the title of the course. An asterisk will indicate that the prerequisite could also be taken concurrently with the course and two asterisks will indicate that the prerequisite is only recommended-not required.
- For courses you have already completed, if any, please report the grade you earned in the course. If the course was taken at the Warner School prior to your matriculation, indicate that by writing R in the first column. If the course was taken outside the Warner School prior to matriculation, indicate that by writing T in the first column and attach supporting documentation (e.g., relevant transcripts, a note explaining why you think the course should be transferred into your program, and the course description and syllabus when requested).
- Restrictions about transfer/retroactive credits:
- Your request for transfer/retroactive credits (identified by a T or R in the first column) will need to be reviewed and approved by your advisor, program chair, and associate dean of graduate studies.
- Transfer/retroactive credits are granted for graduate level coursework taken in the last 5 years prior to matriculation for master's students and in the last 10 years prior to matriculation for doctoral students. Exceptions may be made only in cases where the student can provide alternative evidence of having kept current with the field/content addressed in courses taken outside these time limits.
- Transfer credits are usually not granted for required courses.
- Retroactive credits taken by University of Rochester undergraduates may count toward this program only if they were taken above and beyond the minimum 128 credits required for the completion of an undergraduate degree and were taken at the graduate level.
- Transfer/retroactive credits are only granted for graduate level courses with a grade of B or higher.
- No transfer credits will be granted for courses taken AFTER matriculation into our program.

Entry Level Courses |
|
Up to 10 credits in graduate-level coursework in education or related fields may be transferred in prior to matriculating into the Master’s degree program if approved by the faculty advisor. These transfer credits can fulfill an elective requirement or be a direct substitution of a required course. Required courses that are part of accreditation assessments cannot be substituted. |
