Separate Graduate and Undergraduate Programs
Except for the circumstance described in the regulation below titled "Policy on Allowing Undergraduates to Take Graduate Courses," the graduate and undergraduate programs of Robinson College are entirely separate and only those persons who have been admitted to a graduate status may enroll in courses numbered 6000 or higher. No undergraduate course credit, including that obtained in required background work for a master's degree, may be applied toward any of the master's-level programs.

Policy on Allowing Undergraduates to Take Graduate Courses
Undergraduate students with a cumulative grade-point average of 3.50 or higher who have at least 18 hours of credit at Georgia State University and who are in their senior year may petition to take up to two graduate courses in the Robinson College of Business in lieu of undergraduate courses. Students interested in petitioning should contact the Office of Academic Assistance for a statement of restrictions and procedures pertaining to this policy.

Double Majors and Concentrations and Multiple Master's Degrees
An M.B.A. student who wishes to qualify for an additional major may do so by successfully completing 18-21 semester hours of credit in another field in which M.B.A. majors are offered (depending on the major chosen) and fulfilling any special requirements associated with the chosen major. Similarly, an additional M.B.A. concentration may be earned by successfully completing 12 semester hours of appropriate coursework (See "Regulations for the M.B.A. Degree" for the list of M.B.A. majors and concentrations and their requirements.) For double majors or concentrations within the M.B.A. program, electives can be counted toward both majors or concentrations to the extent they are acceptable in both.

The earning of the second major or concentration will be confirmed by letter from the Office of Academic Assistance, upon written request by the student, only if the additional courses are completed before any of the student's M.B.A. credit will be more than seven years old. The grades in the additional hours must not cause the student's cumulative GPA to fall below 3.00. All grades must be "C" or higher.

A student may take a particular master's degree only once (except as noted below). However, a student who holds a master's degree of this college may qualify for a different master's degree of this college. To so qualify he or she must meet all admission requirements in effect for the second degree and thereafter fulfill all requirements for the second master's degree. Along with all other requirements, the student must complete a minimum of 18 additional semester hours of appropriate credit in residence at GSU for the second and each subsequent degree with appropriate grades and in coursework that has not been applied in satisfaction of the requirements of any other degree. This minimum residence requirement is permitted only when all courses to be applied toward the subsequent degree will be no more than seven years old upon completion of all degree requirements. If the seven-year time frame is not met, the minimum residence requirement for a second (or subsequent) master's degree is 24 semester hours with appropriate grades and in coursework that has not been applied in satisfaction of the requirements of any other degree. Once the 24-semester-hour residency is met, students may transfer approved course work completed elsewhere in accordance with the college's standard transfer-of-credit regulations.

Courses taken to earn an additional MBA concentration or major or to expand an MBA concentration into a major must be separate from any courses taken to meet the minimum residency for an additional degree.  This applies whether the courses for the additional designations are taken before or after the first degree has been awarded.  The final decision about the minimum course credit required for additional concentrations, majors, and/or degrees rests with the Robinson College of Business.

A student who holds an M.S. degree from this college and wishes to earn an M.S. in another major must follow the provisions for qualifying for a different master's degree (described earlier in this section).
