Dual/Combined Degree Policy
Graduate students registering for undergraduate-level courses will be charged at the undergraduate per-credit tuition for undergraduate courses taken as prerequisites needed for admission to the graduate program or certification eligibility with the state.
Undergraduate students registering for graduate-level courses will be charged at the graduate per-credit tuition rate for graduate courses. Dual degree students in Business, Criminal Justice, Music Therapy, and Nursing, when taking 12-16 credits, will be permitted to additionally take two to three designated graduate-level credits (as noted in the dual degree undergraduate program requirements) as part of the undergraduate flat tuition rate. If the graduate-level course(s) brings the total registration to more than 16 credits (creating an overload situation), the student will be charged per credit at the undergraduate per-credit tuition rate.
Tuition and fees for all students are based upon the student's current division and program of study. Students who have graduated with a Bachelor's Degree are considered graduate-level whether they are matriculated or non-matriculated.
