Combined Bachelor of Science and Master of Science Degree:

Persons with outstanding undergraduate records may be eligible for this combined degree program. The following grades are required:

1) GPA (overall and in chemistry)

• 3.50 after 60 semester hours
• 3.40 after 75 semester hours
• 3.30 after 90 semester hours
• 3.20 after 105 semester hours

The Combined Baccalaureate and Master's Program form needs to be completed and this includes:

A) A listing of undergraduate courses to be taken for completion of the baccalaureate degree

B) The beginning date for graduate enrollment

C) A listing of graduate courses to satisfy the undergraduate degree requirements. (Up to 12 graduate hours many be used.) The selection of courses to be applied toward the undergraduate degree requires the approval of the Coordinator of Graduate Studies and an appropriate undergraduate dean in the College of Arts and Sciences.

At least three letters of recommendation from Instructors who are familiar with the student's acheivements in course work are also required.

Graduate Courses in chemistry that could satisfy requirements for the Bachelor of Science degree will usually have the form 4/5XXXX or 4/5/7XXXX but other graduate courses may be deemed as appropriate substitutions by the Coordinator of Graduate Studies.

Financial support for graduate study (if available) will only commence after satisfactory completion of all required courses for the Bachelor of Science degree other than those taken for combined graduate credit.
