Ph.D. students may count up to 20 hours of coursework from other
graduate degrees toward the coursework requirements associated with
the program of study.
The following guidelines apply.
- Approved courses are certified by inclusion on the student's
Program of Study for the Ph.D. Degree. All coursework on the
program of of study is subject to approval by the student's
supervisory committee and the Director of Graduate Studies. The
Program of Study must be submitted by the end of the student's second
semester of study.
- Approval of courses taken elsewhere cannot be counted directly toward
the core course requirements, and they do not affect the qualifying exam
requirements. Some students may elect to complete a course at Utah even
though they may have taken a comparable course elsewhere, to aid in
preparation for these exams.
- Approval of courses taken elsewhere has no effect on University of
Utah residency requirements (see this
section).
