Undergraduate Qualifying Year
Description
The Undergraduate Qualifying Year is intended for applicants whose credentials in the appropriate field of specialization are insufficient but otherwise have a strong academic record. The qualifying year consists of two terms with six specified regular undergraduate courses that, if passed with a minimum grade of 75 on each course, will result in automatic admission to a designated Master's program. When this requirement is not fulfilled, students can still re-apply for admission. Students registered for the qualifying year are not eligible for graduate financial support. However, once the qualifying year has been successfully completed, the financial package in the conditional admission offer can be reconsidered depending upon the academic performance, program to be pursued, and availability of funds.
