Advanced Placement

The Post-Graduate Certificate in Precision Medicine Program allows the transfer of up to six quarter-credits (applicable only to core program courses) from recent (within the last five years) equivalent graduate-level coursework completed at other institutions prior to matriculation at Midwestern University. Generally, transfer credits would only be given to students who satisfactorily completed course-work with a minimum of a B grade from an accredited graduate degree program.  Prior to matriculation, students must submit a letter of request and relevant course materials, including syllabi, to the Program Director. The Program Director will consult with the appropriate course director to evaluate the submitted course materials and determine whether the course is an appropriate substitute for one of the core Precision Medicine Program courses. If the request for transfer credits is denied, students may appeal this decision to the CGS Dean. If a course is accepted for credit, the equivalent Midwestern University course and the Advanced Placement notation will be recorded on the transcript along with the name of the institution at which the credit was earned. Any earned letter grade will not be included on the transcript or used in the GPA calculation.
