Bachelor's-Master's Degree Program
College undergraduate students may apply to the Graduate Center for Social and Public Policy in their junior year.
If accepted and once they have earned at least 90 undergraduate credits, they may take courses in Social and Public Policy in their senior year. This coursework satisfies the remaining undergraduate requirements, including the minor requirement, and also counts toward the M.A. in Social and Public Policy.
Students receive their B.A. after completing a total of 120 credits—usually after their second or third semester of graduate study. Students earn their M.A. after completing 36 credit-hours of graduate work—normally at the end of their fifth year.
