Can my MA degree transfer credit satisfy any American Studies credit?
• The College of Arts and Sciences allows a maximum of 30 hours of transfer credits to help fulfill the 90 hours required for the Ph.D. The transfer credits can only be counted for one departmentyour major department or the AMST combined degreenot both. Q: I am in the process of applying for admission to the Ph.D. program. Based on the information (given on the web) it seems there is little funding for tuition. • We realize funding is a concern for all students. You are correct. Due to American Studies being a Program and not a department, we do not have funding available for incoming students with the exception of two $2,500 “top off” fellowships. Each year cooperating departments submit their top applicants whose areas are compatible with AMST. These fellowships are awarded to 2 applicants who choose to pursue an AMST minor or combined degree.
