Save Money and Time with the 4+1 Program 

Students enrolled in the 4+1 program begin taking graduate level courses during their undergraduate studies. This type of dual enrollment can save students 6-12 months in completing a master’s program when compared to regular graduate applicants. It also saves money, since completion of graduate hours as part of regular full-time undergraduate schedule lessens the number of hours students pay for as they complete a Master’s degree.

To get started...

1. Fill out the 4+1 Interest Form.
    
   1. Once you have completed the 4+1 Interest Form, you will be assigned a Graduate Advisor/Director. Your Graduate Advisor/Director will work with you to ensure that you complete the appropriate graduate level courses, and advise you on GPA and other program requirements, during the remainder of your undergraduate program.
      
      
2. Complete the application to your chosen Braniff or Gupta graduate program in the final semester of your senior year.
   
   1. Complete the Braniff 4+1 Application 
   2. Complete the Gupta 4+1 Application
      
   3. Your application will be reviewed by the appropriate Graduate Admissions Committee.  Acceptance letters will be sent via email.
      
      
3. Submit the Intent to Enroll/Offer Acceptance Form to confirm your plans to enroll in the graduate portion of the 4+1 program.
   
   
   1. Refer to your acceptance letter for submission instructions. 

Important Notes: 

• You must submit a 4+1 Interest Form in order to receive the 4+1 benefits. Students who do not submit a 4+1 Interest Form before beginning their final undergraduate semester will not be considered for the 4+1.
  
  
• You may defer your admission to the graduate portion of your 4+1 program for up to one year after completing your undergraduate studies.
  
  
• You may transfer up to 12 graduate credit hours taken during your undergraduate studies into your graduate program. You must have received a “B” or better in each graduate level course in order for the classes to be considered transferable.
  
  
• While there is no minimum GPA requirement to apply to one of the 4+1 programs, students with at least a 3.66 GPA in undergraduate courses after completing 90 undergraduate credits may count 6 credit hours of the graduate coursework they have taken towards their undergraduate degree as well; these 6 hours will “double count” for both the undergraduate and graduate degrees.
