Semester Conversion Office - Weekly Update INFO
•
BSMS aka Dual Degree Programs: Overlapping semester credit hours
In a dual degree where the bachelor’s portion is 120 sch’s, students may overlap 6 semester credits. Additional
overlapping of no more than 3 sch is allowable in bachelor’s programs requiring 123 or more semester credits.
The overlapping credits are graduate courses which fulfill graduate program requirements and are also used in
the credit hour requirements for the baccalaureate degree. For every dual degree, there must be at least 30
graduate semester credits to justify the award of the master's degree.
