Grading Policies

At least 36 of these must be graded units, passed with an average grade of 3.0 (B) or better, and any course taken as part of the 45-unit program must be taken for a letter grade unless the course is offered S/NC only.

Department Coterm Course Transfer Policy

After accepting admission to this coterminal master’s degree program, students may request a transfer of courses from the undergraduate to the graduate career to satisfy the requirements for the master’s degree. Transferring courses to the graduate career requires review and approval of both the undergraduate and graduate programs on a case-by-case basis.

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.

Course transfers are not possible after the bachelor’s degree has been conferred.

Coterm Quarters Back Rule
