Earning Graduate Credit as an Undergraduate Student
With the approval of the dean of the appropriate college, traditional day undergraduate students may take up to 9 credit hours at the graduate level during their senior year at no additional charge. These hours will count toward a graduate degree if one is ultimately pursued but not toward the student’s undergraduate degree. Under this option, the student must be enrolled in at least 12 credit hours at the undergraduate level for each semester that the student is taking graduate credit and have a minimum undergraduate 3.0 GPA. A maximum of 6 graduate credits may be earned per semester. Students in the early access program must maintain a 3.0 in all master’s credits.
Note: Some LU colleges may have additional requirements for admission to their Early Access programs. Please review the college-specific section of the catalog for more information.
