Admission requirements for the joint bachelor of arts or bachelor of science and master of public administration (B.A. or B.S./M.P.A.) degree are:
- Completion of 90 undergraduate credits including all general education requirements in any major
- Permission of major department
- Cumulative grade-point average of 3.2 or higher
- Submission of internal application for early admission to M.P.A. degree (in junior year)
- Graduate Record Examination (GRE) test score (waived, if cumulative GPA is 3.000 or higher )
- Submission of online admission application documents (application, personal statement, current résumé, three recommendation letters, official undergraduate transcript)
Documents for early admission should be filed within the first semester of the applicant's junior year. Once the applicant receives notice that they qualify for the joint program, they will be permitted to begin courses in the M.P.A. degree program in the second semester of the junior year. Courses taken as an undergraduate are counted toward both the undergraduate and graduate degrees (must earn a grade of "B" or higher to count towards graduate degree). M.P.A. courses taken as an undergraduate are charged at the undergraduate tuition rate during the fall and spring semesters only.
