Overview
Our
candidates have accumulated substantial graduate credits, through one or
more master’s degrees, or are ABD or they have accumulated credits
solely for their personal or professional objectives. In an attempt to
earn their doctorate, they discovered that most, if not all, of their
graduate coursework was not transferable.
IUGS respects past academic endeavor and will
transfer all relevant graduate coursework from accredited institutions.
A graduate seminar and a dissertation may be all you need to earn your
Ph.D. Call our admissions office at (888-989-GRAD) to discuss your
potential candidacy.
We look forward to helping you in your academic
pursuits.
