If a student has more than 12 graduate credit hours towards the master’s
degree, those credits will not be transferred into the master’s program.
These courses will have to be taken again as a master’s student.
Students must have a 3.0 GPA graduate GPA at the time of graduation in
order to graduate with the master’s degree.
Most financial aid and scholarships can be used towards the senior year as a
graduate student. However, it is the student’s responsibility to meet with
financial aid and/or a scholarship advisor in order to determine funding as a
graduate student in the senior year.
It takes good effort and planning to complete this combined degree plan.
Make sure to plan your program and give it its due diligence. It is important
to meet with your academic advisor each semester.
