UNDERGRADUATE/GRADUATE JOINT PROGRAMS OF STUDY
The Joint Programs of Study option affords Franklin University undergraduate students, who are interested in pursuing a graduate degree at Franklin University, the opportunity to enroll in graduate coursework that may serve as university elective coursework in meeting the hour requirements for the Baccalaureate degree. Students pursuing this option generally complete both the Baccalaureate and Master’s degrees in less time and fewer semester hours than pursuing the two degrees consecutively.
Acceptance into one of the undergraduate programs of study at Franklin University does not ensure or guarantee acceptance into a Franklin University graduate program. Students must meet the admission requirements of the graduate program and be admitted into a graduate program of study in order to pursue the Joint Programs of Study option. Each program of study in the graduate program is governed by its respective program criteria and academic standards set forth in the Academic Bulletin. Application for enrollment into a graduate program must be submitted two terms prior to commencing graduate level coursework. Undergraduate students who are accepted into one of the graduate programs will be concurrently enrolled in both the undergraduate and graduate programs. Any graduate course used in the undergraduate area may not be counted if a grade of “C” or less is earned.
It is recommended that students planning to pursue joint programs of study discuss their plans with their Academic Advisor.
SUBSEQUENT DEGREE(S)
The subsequent bachelor’s degree is open to learners who have completed a bachelor’s degree or higher from a regionally accredited college or university. (For international students with a three year baccalaureate degree, the bachelor’s degree needs to be accredited by the ministry of education or equivalent government ministry in the particular country.) Each candidate for a subsequent degree must earn in residence at Franklin University a minimum of 30 credit hours at the 200 level or above, of which a minimum of 16 credit hours must be in major area courses at the 300 or 400 level.
The grade point average (GPA) for the subsequent degree is based on courses taken for the subsequent degree. For students with a bachelor’s degree from Franklin University, the number of credits required beyond the prior bachelor’s degree must be substantial (normally 30 credits); otherwise the GPA will be cumulative. For major program and degree requirements, refer to the Academic Bulletin subsequent degree listings for specific programs.
TRANSIENT STUDENTS
A degree-seeking student who wishes to complete coursework at another regionally accredited college or university and then apply it toward a Franklin University degree may complete a Course Equivalency Form (available from the Office of Student Services) to find out in advance how the course(s) will transfer to Franklin University. The student also should attach a copy of the catalog description for the course in question. Students who follow this procedure will be notified concerning how the course(s) will transfer (equivalency and degree applicability), assuming they earn a grade of “C -” or better. Students who do not obtain such assurance run the risk that the coursework may not apply toward the degree as intended. To be awarded transfer credit, a student must arrange for the institution at which the credit was earned to forward an official transcript to Franklin University.
As stated under “Academic Credit and Courseload,” a student is not permitted to carry more than 18 load hours per session at Franklin University or in total at Franklin University and concurrently at any other college or university without permission of the Academic Advisor and Program Chair. Unless permission is granted, credit in excess of the 18 load hour limit will not be transferred to Franklin University.
