Applications When Can I Apply?Īpplicants must submit their application and, if admitted, respond to the offer of admission no later than the quarter prior to the expected completion of their undergraduate degree. These policies include approval of a leave of absence for quarters not enrolled and minimal progress guidelines for graduate students. Coterminal students are subject to graduate studies policies and procedures as described in the “ Graduate Education” section of the Stanford Bulletin. Thus, coterminal students are changed from the undergraduate to the graduate coterminal student group in the 13 th quarter and are then assessed the regular graduate tuition rate (see “ Coterm Tuition, Assistantship and Funding ”). The quarter following completion of 12 full-tuition undergraduate quarters is identified as the first graduate quarter for tuition assessment. The deadline to submit the transfer form is the Late Application to Graduate deadline of the quarter in which the student is graduating from the undergraduate program. Once the undergraduate degree has been conferred, courses can no longer be transferred. Courses may only count toward one career or the other. The eForm is routed to the student services administrators from the student’s undergraduate and graduate departments for approval. Courses that were taken since, and including, Autumn Quarter of sophomore year are eligible for transfer. The Coterm Course Transfer form is available in the eForms portal in Axess. Students in the coterminal master’s program in communication may transfer certain courses between their undergraduate and graduate careers by submitting a Coterm Course Transfer form to the Registrar’s Office.

The University requires that at least 36 of the M.A. Units earned in courses below the 100 level may not be counted towards the minimum unit requirement for the master’s degree. units, all courses must be taken for a letter grade if offered as such, and courses in related areas outside the department must be approved by the student’s advisor if they are not on the department’s list of approved outside electives (see Curriculum). Graduation requires a GPA of 3.0 or better. Normally a grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 or better satisfies the requirement for high academic standing. The courses used to fulfill master’s degree requirements must represent new work beyond the components of the undergraduate program.

Program Requirements for the Master’s DegreeĬourse units may be counted to meet the requirements of only one degree. It is important to evaluate carefully the total units you need to reach the minimum of 45 graduate units. The maximum number of units per quarter taken at graduate level is 18, with any additional units taken within the same quarter charged at a per unit rate. The minimum number of units for a master’s degree in communication-media studies track is 45 unduplicated units beyond the 180 units required for the bachelor’s degree.
