Graduate Transfer Students:
Because of the specialized nature of the MFT graduate program offered through MUSM, the amount of graduate course credit awarded by transfer will be evaluated by the Program Director on a case by case basis. The maximum number of transfer credits will be limited to six semester hours and restricted to courses in which a grade of "B" or better was achieved. Courses used to complete requirements for another masters or doctoral degree cannot be used to satisfy requirements for the Mercer University School of Medicine MFT Degree. Transfer work will be calculated as part of the six-year limitation for the completion of the graduate degree.
