Guidelines for Combination Degrees:

Upon being approved for a combined degree track, qualified NGU undergraduate students may enroll in up to four graduate level courses (12 credit hours). The approved graduate level credit hours will replace undergraduate level credit hours in comparable subject matter as determined by the academic department. Upon graduating with a bachelor’s degree and enrolling in the graduate program, approved graduate level courses previously completed with a grade of B or higher will be applied toward completion of the master’s degree.

Requirements To apply for a combination degree track, the following criteria must be met:

The student must have completed a minimum of 75 undergraduate credit hours before qualifying to enroll in a graduate level course.
The student must maintain both a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 and a minimum disciplinary GPA of 3.0 within his or her major to enroll in graduate level courses as part of the combination degree track.
The student must receive approval from both his or her academic advisor and the appropriate graduate program director before enrolling in a graduate level course.
A grade of B or higher must be earned for application of graduate level course to the combination degree track.

Upon graduating with a bachelor’s degree, the student must meet all entrance requirements established by the graduate program for previously earned graduate level courses to be applied toward accelerated completion of a master’s degree.
