Bachelors+masters programs
Bachelors+masters degree programs allow high-achieving students to complete a bachelor’s and master’s degree at an accelerated pace. Students with upper-division standing may apply to an approved bachelors+masters degree program. The minimum cumulative undergraduate GPA for admission to a bachelors+masters program cannot be less than 3.30 (including transfer credits); beyond the GPA minimum, individual programs will set their own admissions criteria. Students admitted to an approved bachelors+masters program can share a maximum of 15 graduate credits between a bachelor’s and master’s degree. Programs may choose to allow fewer shared credits. Shared credits will be considered pre-admission credits when applied to the master’s degree.
After admission to a bachelors+masters degree program, students must maintain a cumulative undergraduate GPA of 3.30 and earn a B or higher in graduate courses taken for shared credit. Upon completion of the bachelor’s degree, students who meet those requirements will be guaranteed admission to the master’s program with shared credits. Students who do not meet those requirements would need to apply for admission to the master’s degree program without the benefits of bachelors+masters shared coursework.
