Doctoral Handbook
Advanced Standing
Of the 78 credits beyond the baccalaureate and prior to the dissertation, at least 39 credits must be completed at the University at Albany. Students who have completed graduate studies elsewhere may apply for advanced standing and will be allowed to apply a maximum of 39 credits to the doctorate. Courses completed more than five years prior to the semester in which the student is admitted are less likely to be accepted for credit. Students wishing to apply for advanced standing should do so by completing the Advanced Standing form available on the ETAP website. Decisions about advanced standing are made in conjunction with the advisor and approved by the advisor and Department chair. In general, advanced standing will not substitute for basic program requirements such as core courses.
