Transfer Credits

Skip to main

The DPT degree requires a minimum of 137 semester hours of coursework, and transfer of credit is uncommon. If requested, transfer credit determination is based on a course-by-course review, typically of the student’s initial year of the curriculum. A maximum of nine credits may be considered for acceptance of transfer credit, which aligns with the UK Graduate School transfer of credit policy. As clinical/professional courses predominate after the initial year in a DPT program, transfer of course credits in the second or third year are rarely possible. Requests for transfer of credits are reviewed by the DPT program’s Curriculum Committee. Course credits recommended for transfer (maximum nine) are communicated to the DPT department chair by the DPT Curriculum Committee chair for approval and communication to the CHS Office of Student Affairs for processing.
