It is possible to transfer a limited number of credit hours to the Master's Program from another accredited university. The policy, however, is stringent. For the Master's Program, the student may transfer only 6 credit hours. The student must be able to provide his/her course grade and course syllabus for each class that he/she wishes to transfer. You will need to receive prior approval from the RA Program Director before any credit hours can transfer. The Director will then decide if the course credit hours are transferable.

6 credits may be transferred into the program - with Director's approval.

The Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Regulatory Affairs Graduate Education Program is a member of The Atlanta Regional Council for Higher Education (ARCHE), which allows students to register for approved courses at an approved ARCHE member institution.
