Helpful Hints:
Transfer of Credit Students may be eligible to transfer up to 18 credit hours of graduate level course work into the program. Credit can be transferred only if the student was enrolled at the granting institution and if official transcripts are supplied to UNL. The degree itself requires 36 credit hours of graduate level course work, 18 of which must be in entomology. The degree requires 18 credit hours from graduate courses that do not have an undergraduate counterpart. The ultimate decision on whether or not your course work will transfer is up to UNL's Office of Graduate Studies. No graduate credits will be accepted as transfer credit toward a masters program at UNL if the course work is 10 years or older or if the course work has been applied toward a previous masters degree at UNL or any other accredited institution. Only graduate, not professional, credit will be transferred. All graduate credits to be counted toward the satisfaction of postbaccalaureate degree requirements, including the transfer credits, must be recommended by the cognizant graduate committee of the student's major department or area. Not less than 50 percent of the course work of the minimum number of graduate credits required for any subdoctoral graduate degree must be completed at the University of Nebraska. The student should not expect any graduate credits to be transferred unless the graduate committee evaluates the quality and suitability equal to or superior to offerings available at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Approval of the Office of Graduate Studies is required for the transfer of graduate work taken elsewhere to a graduate degree program at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. It is the responsibility of the student to insure that official transcripts of graduate work taken elsewhere are sent by the institution where the work was completed and received by the Office of Graduate Studies well before the student plans to complete all other requirements for the graduate degree. Second Masters Degree Students who have earned a previous graduate degree such as a masters degree in any institution including the University of Nebraska may seek a second masters degree provided the degree is in a different discipline. However, no graduate credits will be accepted as transfer credit toward a second masters program if the course work has been applied toward a previous degree at any accredited institution, including UNL. Graduate course work not previously applied toward a degree may be considered to a second masters if the graduate credits were earned within 10 years of completing the masters degree at UNL. Any approved Memorandum of Courses cannot duplicate graduate courses from any institution, discipline or country. For additional information regarding the transfer of course work, refer to UNL's on-line 2007-2008 Graduate Studies Bulletin: http://www.unl.edu/unlpub/grad.html Questions Regarding Your Application?
