Bachelor to Master Dual Credit Options

The Bachelor to Master Dual Credit Options enable Trident students to earn up to 12 semester hours of graduate credit toward their undergraduate program that will also apply toward a graduate degree. Available programs are as follows:

Bachelor of Science in Business Administration - Dual Credit Option to Master of Business Administration - No Concentration
Bachelor of Science in Leadership - Dual Credit Option to Master of Science in Leadership - No Concentration
Bachelor of Science in Leadership - Dual Credit Option to Master of Arts in Education - Adult Education and Training
Bachelor of Science in Human Resource Management - Dual Credit Option to Master of Science in Human Resource Management - No Concentration
Bachelor of Science in Health Administration - Dual Credit Option to Master of Science in Health Administration - No Concentration

The above combinations represent the maximum applicability of dual credit courses. However, graduate courses taken as part of the undergraduate program may apply to any graduate degree in which the course is required for degree completion. For a list of specific graduate courses that apply to these program options, please see the Academic Programs Catalog.

Enrolling in the Undergraduate Dual Credit Program

Students may enroll in or switch to an eligible program/concentration at any time. However, students in these options may not enroll into the dual credit courses until they have completed and earned 90 credits in the program. At this point, an assessment will be completed to verify the student is eligible. In addition to 90 earned credits, students must have a minimum Undergraduate Cumulative Grade Point Average of 2.75. Students who have completed 90 credits but are determined at any point thereafter to not be meeting the CGPA requirement will be switched to the No Concentration option of the current program.

Completing the Dual Credit Courses

Graduate level courses taken as part of an undergraduate program will be graded on the undergraduate scale, however, grades below a “B-” will not be sufficient to apply to the graduate program. If a student earns a grade of C+ through D, they may repeat the course immediately or may later re-take the course during the graduate level program. Students should be aware that certain funding sources may not pay for the student to repeat a course that is considered passed at the undergraduate level, even if the course must be repeated to meet graduate degree requirements.

Applying the Credit to a Graduate Degree

To apply the dual credit to the applicable graduate program, the student must:

  • Be accepted into the appropriate Graduate program at Trident.
  • Earn a grade of “B-” or better in each of the dual credit course(s).
