Option for Qualified Seniors to Take Graduate Courses

Students who have completed 90+ credits and who have an overall GPA of 3.5 or better may take up to six credits of graduate level courses in the M.A. in Pastoral Ministry program, if all prior permissions are granted. Graduate courses in these programs may be taken for either undergraduate or graduate credit, but not both. Undergraduates taking graduate courses will be charged undergraduate tuition up to the maximum of six credits. Admission of an undergraduate to courses at the graduate level does not imply future acceptance into a graduate degree program.

Qualified students may apply for admission into the combined B.S./M.B.A. program in the spring semester of their junior year. During the senior year, students accepted into the programs will complete six graduate credits, specified by the Department of Business, which will be applied to both the undergraduate and graduate degree requirements. The total number of credits required for both degrees is 150 or 153 depending on the student's academic background. The Bachelor of Science degree will be awarded upon the completion of the requirements for that degree.
