Program Guidelines
Guidelines for implementation
- Undergraduate students in the Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering Programs at
麻豆破解版 State University will apply for Bachelor's to Master's Programs using the
regular Graduate School application form and admission process (including paying the
Graduate School application fee). Students would normally apply for graduate admission
at least one semester before the semester in which they plan to obtain credit at both
the undergraduate and graduate level. Should the student meet the admission requirements
set for the program, a tentative admission will be granted, pending the award of the
bachelor's degree. Tentative graduate admission does not guarantee final admission
to the graduate program. Final graduate admission is contingent upon the student meeting
all the admission requirements in place for the graduate program at the time the Bachelor's
degree is awarded. If a tentatively admitted student does not achieve final admission,
the graduate work already completed is moved to the undergraduate transcript.
- The supervisory committee will be listed on each dual enrollment form, and a program
of study filed as soon as the student has received their Bachelor's degree.
- Maximum number of hours used for both undergraduate and graduate program credit (joint
degree courses) will be limited to 9 hours.
- The courses that can be used for joint credit will be limited to 700 level and above.
The courses that are used for joint credit cannot be courses that are prerequisites
for the graduate program, core courses in the undergraduate curriculum, workshop courses,
or cooperative education courses
- Until the bachelor's degree is awarded, for each semester in which the student takes
courses at the graduate and undergraduate level, a dual enrollment form (attached)
must be completed which indicates the courses taken for graduate credit (as well as
joint credit).
- The bachelor's degree may be awarded at any time following the completion of the undergraduate
degree requirements and completion of the joint-degree hours.
- The bachelor's degree must be awarded at least two semesters before the graduate degree
is awarded.
- Graduate course work taken in this program must be completed within eight years (from
the time that the first graduate course is taken that is counted toward degree requirements)
or within six years from the awarding of the bachelor's degree whichever comes first.
- A tentative 鈥渙utline for degree completion鈥 should be developed by the student and
his/her advisor and kept in the student's departmental file. The outline for degree
completion projects courses to be taken each semester and the semester in which the
Bachelor's degree and Master's degree would be awarded.
- In addition, annual reviews of student progress will be conducted with a written progress
report placed in the student's departmental file by the departmental graduate committee.
- Students in a Dual/Accelerated Degree Program may not hold a graduate assistantship
until after the Bachelor's degree is awarded, and the student is fully admitted to
the graduate program.
- For the purpose of requesting exceptions to program and university regulations, students
in a Dual/Accelerated Degree Program are considered undergraduates and thus proceed
through the undergraduate processes until the Bachelor's degree is awarded.
- Students admitted to the Dual/Accelerated Degree Program, who do not complete the
program or who request admission to any other WSU program, forfeit the joint hours
in the program. The joint hours will be posted only to the undergraduate transcript.
If joint hours are already posted to both the graduate and undergraduate transcript,
the hours on the graduate transcript will be removed.
