Important Notes: 

  • You must submit a 4+1 Declaration Form in order to receive the 4+1 benefits. Students who do not submit a 4+1 Declaration Form before beginning their final undergraduate semester will not be considered for the 4+1.

  • You may defer your admission to the graduate portion of your 4+1 program for up to one year after completing your undergraduate studies.

  • While there is no minimum GPA requirement to apply to one of the 4+1 programs, students with at least a 3.66 GPA in undergraduate courses after completing 90 undergraduate credits may additionally count 6 hours of the graduate coursework towards their undergraduate degree; this 6 hours will “double count” for both the undergraduate and graduate degrees.

  • You may transfer up to 12 graduate credit hours taken during your undergraduate studies into your graduate program. You must have received a “B” or better in each graduate level course in order for the classes to be considered transferable.
