Minimum semester hours:
The candidate must earn graduate credit amounting to a minimum of 36
semester hours. At least two-thirds must be in courses numbered 5000
or above. No more than 12 semester hours of 3000 or 4000 level and
graduate level problems in combination may be used in a degree
program.
Utilization of undergraduate
courses for graduate credit: Courses at the 3000 and 4000 level
may be counted towards the degree upon recommendation of the
student’s advisor and approval of the chairman in the department in
which the course is offered and the Dean of College of Graduate
Studies.
Limitations on transfer and correspondence courses:
Upon
the recommendation from the advisory committee and the head of the
major department and the approval of the Dean of College of Graduate
Studies, the University may accept as much as 12 hours of graduate
work completed at another regionally accredited institution. Course
work in which no formal grades are given or in which grades other
than letter grades (A, B, C etc.) are given (for example CR, P, S, U
etc.) is not accepted for transfer credit. Credit for course work
submitted for transfer from any college or university must be shown
in semester credit hours or equated to semester credit hours.
No more than six hours of courses that have been applied or counted
towards a completed degree program can be transferred into a
Tarleton Master’s Degree program. Also, courses accepted in transfer
must have been completed within six years of the time that the
student will complete his/her graduate degree program at Tarleton.
No academic work completed by correspondence
may be applied to graduate degree programs.
Admissions to candidacy for the master’s
degree: Full admission to graduate study is a prerequisite to
admission to candidacy for the Master’s Degree. A graduate student
may be admitted to candidacy when his or her advisory committee
files an approved degree plan accompanied by the student’s
application for candidacy. The advisory committee will not file a
degree plan until the student has completed at least 12 semester
hours of graduate credit with an overall B (3.0) GPA. |
