Transfer Guide To Applying To Brown: Tuition Requirements


The tuition requirement for a baccalaureate degree is 32 tuition units—or the equivalent as determined by transfer credits. For the combined degrees of A.B. and Sc.B., the minimum tuition requirement is 40 tuition units—or the equivalent as determined by transfer credits. A tuition unit is defined as one-eighth of the annual tuition.

Candidates for a baccalaureate degree are eligible to take 30 to 40 courses for the required 32 tuition units, provided the coursed in excess of 32 are taken over and above the normal load of eight in any year. In a comparable manner, candidates in the combined degree program are eligible to take 38 to 50 courses for the required 40 tuition units, provided the courses in excess of 40 are taken over and above the normal load of eight in any year. A course is considered to be taken if it is not dropped prior to mid-semester, regardless of whether a credit is earned for the course.
