The Associate Provost for Graduate Studies has responsibility for this office and provides leadership in the development and administration of graduate programs for the university. Under the Provost and working with the Associate Provost for Graduate Studies, the Deans of the respective colleges have academic responsibility for graduate as well as undergraduate programs in their colleges.

Course Equivalency Guide Please select the school you are interested in transferring courses from. If you cannot find your school by the known abbreviation, please look for the full name. Optionally, narrow your search with a keyword describing a course, course subject, or abbreviation. At least one of the fields - school or keyword - is required. External School: Keyword: apply keyword filter to UMassD courses Disclaimer: Transfer credit from another institution must not exceed equivalent course credit (typically 3) and will be based on a standard of 37.5 semester contact hours equal 3 credits. One and two course credit transfer will also be considered providing they are proportioned to the 37.5 semester contact hour standard. Course equivalencies are determined by the department offering the course. The course equivalency guide is updated regularly as new courses are evaluated. If the course does not appear on the list, the equivalent will be considered upon application and admission to UMass Dartmouth. UMass Dartmouth reserves the right to change course equivalencies as curriculum updates occur.

The Master of Science (MS) in Nursing program is a 39 credit degree program delivered in a fully asynchronous online format. Six (6) of these credits may be taken at UMass Dartmouth prior to matriculation. A total of six (6) credits may be transferred from another graduate program following the appropriate review and approval. One of these transferred courses may include a required elective. The goal of the MS in Nursing program is to prepare the nursing graduate to be a leader in nursing education and/or in global public heath. The nursing and healthcare education concentration prepares the individual for the nurse educator role in academic, clinical, or staff development settings. The concentration reflects the nurse educator and professional development competencies developed by national organizations. The graduate is prepared to design, implement, evaluate, and revise academic and continuing education programs for nurses. The global public health concentration prepares the socially accountable individual to apply skills and knowledge using an ecological framework to improve health outcomes of families, groups, and populations. The graduate is prepared to work in various domestic and global settings, with diverse individuals, families, and populations, to improve healthcare outcomes through illness prevention, health promotion and health policy. Both concentrations provide the student with the foundation knowledge of healthcare systems, healthcare policy, nursing resear...
