How to Transfer Credits for an Ed.D Program
If you want to obtain your doctorate in education you might be looking at transferring to a different college. However, if you already have credits towards the Ed.D at one school, make sure to transfer the credits, otherwise you must retake the classes after enrolling at the new school. Retaking the classes not only costs extra money but extends the period before your graduation.
