Degree Information

The Degree of Master of Biotechnology

Transfer of Credit

You may transfer a maximum of 12 hours of courses or one-third of the total hours of the degree plan, whichever number is greater, from an approved institution upon the advice of your advisory committee. Courses taken in residence at an accredited U.S. institution or approved international institution with a final grade of B or better will be considered for transfer credit if, at the time the courses were completed, the student was in degree-seeking status at Texas A&M University or at the institution at which the courses were taken, and if the courses would be accepted for credit toward a similar degree for students in degree-seeking status at the host institution. Course work without formal grades or with grades other than letter grades (for example, CR, P, S, U, H, etc.) is not accepted for transfer credit . Transfer credit for course work from any college or university must be shown in semester credit hours or equated to semester credit hours. You must have an official transcript sent directly from the university in which the transfer course work was taken to the Texas A&M Office of Admissions and Records. Transfer courses are not included in the calculation of the GPR.
