of institutions of higher learning described in Section 71850(b)(1).

units awarded by another institution may be credited toward a doctoral
degree. This subsection does not apply to graduate programs which lead to
a profession or an occupation requiring state licensure where the
licensing agency has a regulation permitting a different standard.

(d) No more than 25 percent of the units required for graduate degree
programs may be awarded for a final product such as a thesis,
dissertation, or product.
