GRADUATE CERTIFICATE REQUIREMENTS
10.1 General Information
Students may pursue a graduate degree at the University of Memphis after acquiring
a graduate certificate. In such cases, they must fulfill all entrance requirements
for a graduate degree, including entrance examinations in music history and music
theory and the GRE/MAT (if applicable). A maximum of 15 credits may be transferred
from certificate programs to non-related graduate degrees, subject to approval of
the graduate program. Moreover, all credits from a certificate program may be transferred
to a relevant graduate degree where the entire content of a given certificate could
satisfy some of the requirements of a graduate degree. Students in a graduate degree
program may not transfer into a graduate certificate program. After successful completion
of a graduate program, a student may apply for the certificate program of their choice.
No hours from any degree will apply to a graduate certificate.
