A minimum of 45 graduate credits toward the Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology must be earned at Seton Hall, following acceptance to the Program. However, it is unusual to approve transfer requests greater than 9 credits. For transfer credit to be considered, a student must have received a grade of B- or better in the particular course, and the course must be equivalent in subject matter, scope, depth, and level to a particular course offered in this Program. Only those courses that contribute directly, significantly, and substantially to the sound preparation of a counseling psychologist can be considered. Note that under no circumstances will credit be given for previous work
experience, such as research assistantships or clinical work.
For transfer credit to be considered, a student must have received a grade of B or better in the particular course, and the course must be equivalent in subject matter, scope, depth, and level to a particular course offered in the degree program at Seton Hall. Only those courses which contribute directly, significantly, and substantially to the sound preparation of mental health professionals can be considered. All courses must have been taken within the last 5 years and students must provide documentation from that course follo wing admission but preceding first
enrollment (e.g. course syllabus, course text). If there is a significant update or change in professional standards within those five years, then the student will need to demonstrate competence (e.g., read a current text in ethics or complete a refresher course with the latest revision of a psychological instrument).
The applicability of previously earned graduate credits to this Program is determined by Dr. Palmer, Director of Training, whose written signature is required before any credit can be accepted as part of a student's Official Program Plan. If your decision to enroll in this Program is based upon a certain number of transfer credits being approved, be sure to have such courses evaluated in advance, following admission and preceding enrollment.
As discussed above under “Time Limits,” the Program requires that students complete all requirements for the Ph.D. degree within eight years of the date of admission, which is the first day of the fall semester of the student's first year in the doctoral Program. For students entering in the fall semester of 2013 except in cases in which the student has been granted a leave of absence, the Ph.D. degree in Counseling Psychology must be granted prior to the fall semester of 2016, or else the student will be dropped from the Program.

It will reflect the student's knowledge and understanding of the related literature and of the research methodology appropriate to the investigation.
