Combined BA / MA Program
The combined Bachelor's/Master's degree program allows
motivated students to combine work on the B.A. and M.A. degrees in order
to complete both in a total of five years. Advanced undergraduate students
take up to three graduate level courses for undergraduate credit. After
completing the B.A. degree, those graduate courses then apply to the
requirements for the M.A. degree in History. This program can do much
to meet the needs of students who wish to accelerate their academic
program. It is a demanding program, and as such is designed for students
whose academic performance is exceptional.
In order to be accepted to the combined degree program,
students must have completed 90 semester hours of credit in their undergraduate
program and earned a minimum of 3.0 GPA at FSU. Transfer students must
have completed a minimum of two semesters (24 hours) at FSU and earned
a minimum 3.0 GPA at FSU.
To apply to the program, students should meet as early as possible
with the Department’s Academic Advisor to plan a course of study.
After speaking to the Academic Advisor, students can begin a two step
process for admission to the program. First, students apply to the Combined
Degree Program using the application below. Students would normally
apply to the Combined Degree Program in their junior year. If accepted,
they should take the Graduate Record Examination by the first semester
of their senior year. Second, students should then make a formal application
on-line to the Department of History and the Graduate
School during their senior year. Courses in which a student earns
less than a "B-" will not be counted toward the M.A. degree. A maximum
of 12 graduate credit hours may be taken while completing the B.A. Courses
already taken for undergraduate credit may not be taken for graduate
credit. The Department’s deadline for fall and summer
admissions is January 10th, while the deadline for spring admissions
is October 1st.
