The maximum number of transfer credits will be limited to six semester hours and restricted to courses in which a grade of "B" or better was achieved. Courses used to complete requirements for another masters or doctoral degree cannot be used to satisfy requirements for the Mercer University School of Medicine Master of Family Therapy Degree. Transfer work will be calculated as part of the six-year limitation for the completion of the graduate degree.
