X+1 Transfer Credit Policy

The Columbia University School of Professional Studies (SPS) permits a limited number of transfer credits to be applied toward select Master of Science degree programs for students enrolled through approved X+1 partnership agreements. This policy applies exclusively to X+1 partnership students and governs the transfer of graduate-level coursework completed at the designated partner institution. Transfer credit is subject to program-level review and approval, is awarded at the program’s discretion, and is not guaranteed.
