IMPORTANT EXCEPTIONS
Credit rules captured.
Eligible prior graduate work may transfer up to three credits if it was not used for a bachelor's degree. Dartmouth BE students may count up to six applicable courses toward both degrees. Your advisor-developed program plan still requires formal approval.
