BACCALAUREATE/MASTER’S DEGREE<br />
PROGRAM<br />
The Baccalaureate/Master’s Degree Program (BA/MA) provides<br />
academically advanced students the opportunity to pursue<br />
baccalaureate and master’s degrees at the same time. The program is<br />
available to students studying criminal justice, forensic psychology<br />
and public administration. The number of undergraduate electives<br />
and courses in the major are reduced for BA/MA candidates, thus<br />
enabling students to begin graduate courses once they have fulfilled<br />
the college general education requirements and some of the<br />
requirements of their major. <strong>Graduate</strong> courses then fulfill certain<br />
undergraduate requirements.<br />
