<p>I am a first year master study in SUNY-stonybrook, major in Mechanical Engineering. Right now im thinking about transfer to Columbia engineering department next year.
But I can not find any info online. Does anyone know something about this kind of transfering?
I do appreciate the help~~!</p>
<p>You don’t transfer in grad school…</p>
<p>However, your lack of knowledge towards this might explain why you’re at SUNY and not Columbia.</p>
<p>ouch. im pretty sure you could transfer from a CU grad school to SUNY and carry some hours but obviously not vice versa</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Do I sense the onset of a superiority complex?</p>

<p>Probably wants to be like Columbia2002</p>
<p>Damn son, quit drinking all the hatorade.</p>
<p>I find it problematic to call me a perpetrator of “hatorade” for simply espousing that someone who applied to grad school should have a clear understanding of the graduate school application process and its many ramifications.</p>
<p>Hi everyone, I used to go on these posts awhile ago and found this one interesting as I am applying to graduate school too.</p>
<p>You are wrong about transferring.</p>
<p>Many students transfer graduate schools and it is often an option depending on a program. Students prefer to transfer after let’s say they complete their masters before working toward a PhD. If you don’t believe me, read here - [WikiAnswers</a> - Can you transfer graduate school credit for a PhD program to another graduate school](<a href=“http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Can_you_transfer_graduate_school_credit_for_a_PhD_program_to_another_graduate_school]WikiAnswers”>Can you transfer from one graduate school to another? - Answers)</p>
<p>How you do this is you have to apply to the program you desire. To the OP that would be a Masters program in the Engineering School. Part of most graduate school applications asks that you indicate if you are a current graduate student and if you wish to transfer credits. You then have to be admitted. Upon admission at the discretion of the university all/some/none of your credits may be transferred. You usually know this before you decide to enroll.</p>
<p>No one needs to be a jerk about it, especially when you’re wrong.</p>
<p>Same goes for professional schools - they often take transfers for medical, business or law school when the conventional understanding is that you get into one school and you are stuck there, when that is not always the case.</p>
<p>Thank you so much for your advice. Yes i am right now a PhD program student but only first year for Master. I want to have a try to transfer to other school, like columbia. Do you think there will be any chance? And what should I pay attention to?</p>
<p>^^OHHH. then what admissiongeek said totally works. I thought you were only doing a Master’s degree, the transfer ops for which I’m not totally sure about.</p>
<p>You can transfer if you’re looking to get a PhD.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Actually, you would be the consumer of the aforementioned hatorade.</p>
<p>09910745: Shut up, go away. Thanks, doll.</p>
<p>The cheapshot at the OP was unnecessary and wrong. On one hand, in certain fields, SUNY (or CUNY) grad programs are fine. On the other, some Columbia grad programs are mediocre “diploma mills”. I wonder if a mechanical engineering degree from Fu is much better than one from Stony Brook. Most private schools short of Stanford, MIT, or Caltech have relatively weak engineering programs because they just don’t have the numbers to warrant top facilities and resources. FWIW, I didn’t attend SUNY (or CUNY) or Columbia.</p>
