Changing Programs

If students wish to transfer within doctoral programs at APUS, they are only permitted to do so during the first 16 weeks of the program, upon review and approval of the Doctoral Admissions Committee. Students must submit a revised professional goal essay and assume tuition costs for any courses that must be taken in the new program. If students are on probation and/or carry incompletes, they may not transfer programs.
