Undergraduate students who qualify for admission to the MBA Program (including an acceptable GPA from an accredited institution) and need 6 hours or less to graduate (none of which are repeated courses) may be allowed to take up to 6 hours of graduate courses in their final semester. These graduate courses will not count towards the undergraduate degree.
Students who are currently enrolled and in good standing in other accredited graduate programs may register for graduate courses as visiting students. In order for a visiting student to be enrolled officially for graduate credit at Kentucky State University, the student must file an application and submit an official Visiting Student Form from the home institution.
Candidates for the master's degree are restricted to a maximum of 9 semester credit hours of credit by transfer of work completed at another accredited graduate institution. Official copies of transcripts must be submitted and evaluated before any transfer credit can be accepted. Certain courses submitted for transfer may not be considered equivalent to specified program requirements even if course titles are the same.
MBA students may be allowed to transfer graduate courses from other degree granting US institutions with regional accreditation or from foreign institutions with equivalent accreditation where a grade of “A” or “B” was earned. No courses with a grade of “C” or below will be transferred.
