Program Transfer

For information about transferring between programs, please consult the Laney Graduate School Handbook, Academic Affairs, section 1.3.2(D). 

• Because the GDBBS is an interdisciplinary division of related programs, policies and mechanisms for moving between the GDBBS programs are found in the GDBBS handbook. 

Students who want to transfer from one degree program to another within the Laney Graduate School must complete and submit a Request for Program Transfer Form. The form is in the Laney Connect Hub, in the "Enrollment" section. Log in with your Emory credentials and follow the instructions to locate and submit the form.

The program transfer must be approved by the Director / DGS of both the current program and of the intended new program, as well as by the Dean of the Laney Graduate School.

If you are considering transferring between programs, it is best to have a conversation with the LGS Assistant Dean of Student Affairs early on in the process of deliberation, and to discuss with both Directors / DGSs before you submit the form.
