Undergraduate Credit for Graduate Courses

Students in any School of Communication and Information undergraduate program may take courses in the school's graduate programs with permission of the faculty teaching the course, and in keeping with the requirements of the students' undergraduate schools. Although approved graduate courses count toward credits for graduation, in general they may not count toward fulfilling major requirements. (See below for one exception.) Students should check with their department to determine which, if any, courses satisfy major requirements.

The communication major offers a special program option that allows communication majors to earn both a bachelor's and master's degree in five years. Students apply to the master of communication and information studies (M.C.I.S.) program in their junior year; details about admissions requirements, including GRE exams, are at http://comminfo.rutgers.edu/master-of-communication-and-information-studies/admissions.html. If admitted, students enroll in some M.C.I.S. courses in their senior year which will count toward both their undergraduate degree and their master's.  In their fifth year of full-time study, they complete the M.C.I.S. program. The program may also be completed on a part-time basis.

Details about this joint program may be found at http://comminfo.rutgers.edu/master-of-communication-and-information-studies/joint-ba-and-mcis-degree-for-communication-majors.html.
