Undergraduates who have been formally accepted into our BA/MA program will still need to complete the pink permission card used for individuals not formally enrolled in Graduate Studies but in need of taking graduate courses. When a student in this program is entering the last semester of undergraduate studies (typically the eighth semester), the student must fill out the first two pages of the Graduate Studies Application Form.

College of Liberal Arts & Sciences specifics:

In any bachelor-master's program established within the College, an undergraduate who is enrolled in graduate courses must earn at least a "B" grade in each graduate course in order for that course to be transferred to his/her graduate transcript.

That is, while that course may still apply toward the undergraduate degree, it cannot be applied toward the graduate degree as well. Following our standard policy for transfer credits, only courses in which a "B" or better is earned may be transferred to the graduate transcript.

The PSC Graduate Committee will then evaluate the application; continuation in the MA program is contingent upon your undergraduate cumulative GPA and the grades in your graduate courses. Students must retain at least a cumulative GPA of 3.0 throughout their fourth and fifth years to remain in good standing.
