Qualified undergraduate students at Rutgers can apply to the
4+1 B.A./M.A. program in Religion in their junior year. This program makes it
possible to complete the M.A., which is normally a two-year program, in only
one year after the B.A. Students considering applying as well as those who are
already in the 4+1 program are strongly advised to consult with the Director of
Graduate Studies about how to work out the details of their coursework. As a
general rule, a course cannot be counted toward both the B.A. and M.A. degrees.
This means that students in the 4+1 program must plan their coursework for the
B.A. and M.A. separately. During the senior year, students in the 4+1 program
will begin taking graduate courses toward the M.A. degree, but they must make
sure that they will have satisfied all their undergraduate requirements by the
end of the senior year so that they can graduate with the B.A. degree.
