Policies

• A cumulative GPA of 3.4 or higher must be maintained throughout the program. 

• A minimum GPA of 3.4 is required to graduate.

Transfer credit may not be counted toward the MA in Sustainability Science and Practice.

• A minimum of 45 units of coursework.

• At least 34 units of coursework must be at the 200 level or above.

• All coursework must be at the 100 level or above.

• At least 25 of the 45 units must be designated as “arts” units.

• At least three elective courses must be taken for three or more units.

In this master’s program, courses taken during or after the first quarter of the sophomore year are eligible for consideration for transfer to the graduate career; the timing of the first graduate quarter is not a factor. No courses taken before the first quarter of the sophomore year may be used to meet master’s degree requirements.

SUST students must take most (and ideally all) of their elective courses during their time in the SUST coterm. At the program’s discretion, a limited number of elective units may be considered for transfer from the undergraduate career to the SUST graduate career.

Any course transferred from a student’s undergraduate career to their SUST graduate career must have a grade of B+ or higher.
