How it Works
Undergraduates at Anderson University may pursue graduate coursework prior to graduation under certain conditions. Individual graduate programs have the ability to allow or prevent this practice. In some cases, credits may count as requirements or electives in the undergraduate program as well as meet some requirements of a graduate degree with advanced approval.
Next Steps
- Talk with your undergraduate advisor and the graduate program director
- Determine if you meet the minimum academic requirements:
- 3.0 GPA (higher for some programs)
- Junior or Senior Standing
- Apply to an eligible master’s program and meet any additional requirements (recommendation letters, etc.)
