B.A./M.A. and B.S./M.S. Combined Degree Programs

 

                                                 Combined Degrees General Information

The Graduate Division of Arts and Science, in conjunction with the Undergraduate Division of St. John’s College, Tobin College of Business, the College of Professional Studies, the College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, and the School of Law, offers intense, accelerated combined degree programs for highly qualified and motivated undergraduate students in their junior year who demonstrate potential for graduate studies.

Students accepted in a combined degree program are given the opportunity to complete both their baccalaureate and master’s degrees in five years of full-time study by enrolling in four or more approved graduate courses while still an undergraduate student.  These graduate courses count both toward the undergraduate and eventual graduate degrees, and incur no additional charges to the student while still matriculated as an undergraduate.  By completing undergraduate requirements during the first four years, students are assured of the bachelor’s degree if for any reason they decide not to complete the master’s degree.  Graduate-level courses that are applied to the baccalaureate degree as part of the major may not be applied to a graduate degree later on should the student decide not to complete the combined degree program.  

 For more information concerning specific combined degree programs and eligibility, please contact your faculty advisor, department chair, or undergraduate academic dean.  For general inquiries, please contact:
