Combined B.A./M.A. or B.S./M.A. - Technology

Students with majors in an Industrial Technology program, interested in the combined program should declare their intent by the end of the junior year (or have completed at least 90 semester hours). They should complete an Application for Admission to Graduate Study and the departmental application, as well as two professional references and have them submitted to the Graduate Coordinator before attempting to register.

Upon admittance to the combined B.A./M.A. or B.S./M.A. program, undergraduate students during their senior year may register for a maximum of 9 hours of graduate credit as a senior, with the approval of the Graduate Coordinator and the Department Head on a Student Request form. The admitted student may enroll and self-identify themselves with every instructor in the first two weeks of the semester in these 9 hours during the senior year, but before the baccalaureate degree is awarded. To be eligible for this exception to the undergraduate registration policies, the student must have earned at least 90 hours with a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or higher at the time of registration. Approval by the Graduate Dean must also be obtained on the same Student Request form, with the IT Graduate Coordinator serving as the Advisor and the Department Head's approval, when registering for the graduate courses. The combined total of enrolled course credits, both undergraduate and graduate may not exceed fifteen hours in a semester or eight hours in a summer session.

Graduate work completed on the early admission basis will be counted as graduate credit only after the baccalaureate degree has been awarded and enrolled for graduate course work within one year of the awarding of the baccalaureate degree. Actual admission to graduate study and classification as a graduate student commences the semester after the student has completed the baccalaureate.
