Once the undergraduate degree posts, these credits will automatically roll to the graduate transcript under the approved 4+1 program code (e.g., BX/MX – Degree Program 4+1).
This coding supports accurate reporting to CPE, IPEDS, and Financial Aid systems.
Double-counted courses cannot be substituted or reclassified after the bachelor's degree is awarded.
Students who withdraw from the 4+1 pathway will retain undergraduate credits earned but must meet all standard graduate program requirements to pursue a master's degree later.
Admission to a 4+1 pathway does not guarantee admission to the graduate program; formal admission is finalized only after completion of the bachelor's degree and fulfillment of all graduate admissions requirements.
An accelerated bachelor's-to-master's pathway that allows students to apply a limited number of 500-level, dual-level courses toward both degrees.
A graduate-level (typically 500-level) course approved to apply simultaneously to undergraduate and graduate degree requirements when taken by eligible students in an approved 4+1 program.
Banner coding used to classify a course as approved for both undergraduate and graduate credit tracking.
Confirm student has ≥90 earned undergraduate credit hours and meets the minimum GPA requirement.
