Inter-Program Change
Mount Saint Mary’s University offers students who begin their studies in the Associate degree program the opportunity to move to the Baccalaureate program. Students wishing to move must have completed twenty-four transferable units at MSMU with a 2.4 grade point average, have satisfactorily completed developmental courses (if required), have completed ENG 1A, and take the following steps:
-
The requirements and the Inter-Program Change form can be accessed through the MyMSMU website by going to: Academics, Academic Advisement, Program Changes.
-
If requesting to change to the Liberal Studies major, have the change form approved by the Liberal Studies Advisor.
-
Have completed ENG 1A and be enrolled in ENG 1B (if not already completed) during the first semester at the Chalon Campus.
Students who change prior to receiving their Associate degree may not request the degree retroactively.
However, if a student is missing no more than 6 units to earn an Associate degree and has a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.4, she may be granted permission to take all of her classes at the Chalon Campus. The student needs to have applied to graduate at the end of the semester and speak to her advisor and the Inter-Program Change coordinator about her desire to earn an Associate degree. She will still be considered an Associate degree seeking student (a Doheny student) during that semester. She will apply for an interprogram change into the Baccalaureate program during that first Chalon semester.
Students will be notified of their preliminary acceptance into the Baccalaureate program by the Inter-Program Change Office. Students will be notified of final approval after the verification of semester grades.
