For coursework taken at The University of Texas at Austin, a minimum grade point average of 3.33 is required in coursework within the Program of Work, and no course with a grade of less than a B- may be counted toward the Program of Work. University policy also forbids use of any course with a grade of less than B toward the Program of Work. The Program of Work including coursework taken at another university also should meet these standards.

Students who enter the ECE PhD program with a master’s degree from another school, or who took graduate courses at another school without earning a graduate degree, may be able to count up to 6 approved non-UT graduate courses toward the ECE PhD degree. No course with a grade of less than a B taken at another institution may be counted within the ECE PhD Program of Work. UT-Austin has no formal procedure for transferring these graduate courses a student took at another school toward a PhD at UT-Austin. In ECE, the doctoral student’s supervising professor provides tentative approval of 6 graduate courses maximum from another school that the student can list on the ECE PhD Program of Work form. (Note that coursework earned on the quarter system from another school is calculated as two-thirds of the credit for courses offered on a semester basis. Three quarter-system courses count as two semester-system courses.)
