A maximum of nine (9) graduate credits (fifteen [15] from the Nebraska University System or eighteen [18] from a Nebraska State College), subject to evaluation by the Academic Dean may be transferred from another regionally accredited graduate institution and applied toward a degree.  

Credits taken at Peru State College prior to admission to the graduate program must fall within the seven-year time frame allowed for program completion; however, exceptions may be allowed according to the Nebraska State College System Board policy. Transfer credits are applied toward elective credits only within the program. A maximum of nine (9) transfer credit hours may be applied toward the degree requirements.
