College of Health and Human Services Dual Credit Options
The College of Health and Human Services dual credit options are designed to allow qualified undergraduate students to replace up to three courses in their bachelor’s program with graduate courses thus shortening the overall time to earn both a bachelor’s and a master’s. Please refer to the Dual Credit policy in the Policy Handbook for more program requirements. Students in a dual credit option are encouraged to work with their Admissions and Student Success Advisors throughout the program to ensure that they continue to meet the requirements for enrollment into the program and enroll in courses in the appropriate sequence.
Admissions Requirements
Students are admitted to the program at the undergraduate level only. To proceed into the graduate level courses, students must have earned 90 semester hours of undergraduate credit and have a 2.75 minimum GPA. The 90 semester-hour requirement can be met at Trident and/or through transfer. Students who do not meet the GPA threshold after they have earned 90 credits will be administratively changed to the No Concentration or the fully undergrad equivalent version of the program and may return to the Dual Credit option once the GPA has improved.
