General Information on Accelerated Degree Options (Bachelor's + Master's):

Eligibility Standards:

 

High School Students:

  • Minimum high school GPA of 92
  • Combined SAT of 1100 (out of 1600) OR ACT of 24 
  • Letter of recommendation specifically for the Accelerated Bachelor’s/Master’s Degree Program from a high school teacher or counselor

Transfer Students:

  • 45 credits completed
  • GPA of 3.4 overall or at least a 3.4 GPA in the last 30 credits
  • A grade of B or higher in financial accounting
  • A grade of B or higher in managerial accounting 
  • Letter of recommendation from a faculty member from either Saint Rose or the institution from which the student transferred

Current Saint Rose Students:

  • 45 credits completed
  • Overall GPA of 3.4
  • A grade of B or higher in financial accounting
  • A grade of B or higher in managerial accounting
  • Letter of recommendation from a Saint Rose faculty member

Maintaining Status in Accelerated Programs:

  • Overall GPA of 3.4 at the completion of 45 credits 
  • Overall GPA of 3.0 from the completion of 45 credits to completion of the undergraduate degree
  • A grade of B or higher in financial accounting
  • A grade of B or higher in managerial accounting
  • Students can receive no more than one C in a graduate level course. An earned C must be retaken at the graduate level unless otherwise specified by the program.
  • Students cannot receive a failing grade in a graduate level course.

 

Losing Eligibility for an Accelerated Bachelor’s/Master’s Degree Option:

 

Students who do not maintain the standards outlined for their Accelerated Bachelor’s/Master’s Degree Option will lose eligibility for this completion option. If these students are in otherwise good standing with the College, they can continue in their current undergraduate program or move to another undergraduate major. We propose that up to a maximum of 12 graduate credits taken up to that point and completed with a grade of C or higher may be applied to their undergraduate degree. These credits might be applied as either general elective credits or to fulfill a requirement within the undergraduate major, depending on the undergraduate major’s grade requirements. Major grade restrictions would still apply. The student would take the undergraduate courses specified in the course catalog to fulfill all remaining requirements. 

 

Discontinuing an Accelerated Bachelor’s/Master’s Degree Options:

 

Students in good standing may choose to discontinue an Accelerated Bachelor’s/Master’s Degree Option or withdraw from a dual degree program.  These students may then move to another program offered by the college.  Up to a maximum of 12 graduate credits taken up to that point and completed with a grade of C or higher would be applied to their undergraduate degree.  The student would take the undergraduate courses specified in the course catalog to fulfill all remaining requirements. 

 

Opportunity to apply graduate credits to a future master’s degree at Saint Rose if no longer enrolled in Accelerated Program: 

 

Students who withdraw or are dismissed from the Accelerated Bachelor’s/Master’s Degree Option may apply to a Saint Rose Master’s Degree program after completion of the Bachelor’s Degree.  If accepted to a Saint Rose master’s degree program these students may transfer up to 12 graduate credits earned as part of their Saint Rose Bachelor’s Degree.  Specific courses must be approved for transfer by the faculty advisor, and Department Chair/Program Coordinator. Transfer credit is allowed only for courses in which students have received a grade of  “B” or better and within the six-year time limit allowed for completion of the Master’s Degree or Certificate of Advanced Study.  No more than half of a Certificate of Advanced Study or Master’s Degree can be fulfilled with credits that had been applied to a Saint Rose Bachelor’s Degree. 

 

Reinstatement in Accelerated Bachelor’s/Master’s Degree Options:

 

Students in good academic standing with the college but previously declared ineligible from their Accelerated Bachelor’s/Master’s Degree Option can apply for reinstatement to the Accelerated Bachelor’s/Master’s Degree Option after retaking undergraduate courses that resulted in their change of eligibility and/or after earning an overall undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or higher.  Students who earned any graduate grade lower than a C or more than one C at the graduate level may not reapply for reinstatement into the Accelerated degree option. 

 

Advising:

 

Students in this Accelerated Bachelor’s/Master’s Degree Course of Study will have two advisors while they are undergraduates.  A faculty member from the student’s undergraduate discipline will serve as the primary advisor while the student is an undergraduate.  A faculty member from the graduate program will serve as a secondary advisor.  After completing the Bachelor’s Degree the advisor from the graduate program will serve as the student’s sole advisor.
