Transferring Distance Bus Admin PhD Credits

What is the greatest number of PhD-level credits a distance PhD school will accept from another school (I am at the tail-end)?

Background: I took the final course before the prospectus and the professor and I did not "click"and so I missed passing by a few points (yes I have objective support that s/he is playing politics with me and a few other professors and admins agree with me and have already said my prospecuts topic, lit review, and method are a little rough but easily fixed, but that changes nothing) and I must retake the course with him/her again (not a good situation). So are there any distance schools that will allow me to transfer at this stage without having to take another year or so of classes?

 

According to most schools' catalogs, expect just a few courses. But negotiate. See if you can work a better deal. But you'll need something more to come to the table with than a sad tale. Think about the school's "WIIFM."

Oh, and expect to hear "no" a lot. But persevere.

 

Of the PhD programs I looked into, 30 graduate credits was the most any of them would accept for transfer.

The universities required any where between 78 to 90 credit hours total for the degree, of which 30 could be transferred in, around 24 credits were for the dissertation, and 24 to 36 additional credit hours of coursework were required.

Not to repeat Rich, but definitely make an attempt to negotiate. What's the worst that could come of it?

 

Remember, those credits are post-bachelor's. I'm assuming this person has a master's and has been recognized for it. That would limit him/her to little or no transfer credit.

NCU, for example, transfers in 30, but that includes the master's. If one transfers in the master's, one cannot transfer doctoral-level credit. I have a Ph.D. and I would still have to do the same number of credits that a master's-qualified candidate would.

Capella is similar.

Again, expect to be able to transfer in just a course or two (or none) of doctoral-level credit. And not to repeat PhD2B, but negotiate.
