The Graduate School permits the transfer of a maximum of twenty-four credits from other institutions toward the Ph.D., all of which must be in art history and at the graduate level, with a grade of B or better. After having completed four courses (12 credits) in the Graduate Program of Art History at Rutgers, students should submit an official transcript, in addition to a description of the content and requirements of these courses to the faculty for its approval. The Graduate School does not offer transfer credit for independent study or for thesis research and writing earned at another institution.
