Grad Path

Earn Graduate Credit as an Undergraduate

Grad Path is designed for dedicated SUU students with 90+ credit hours. This program allows students to advance their graduate level learning by earning up to 12 graduate credits (program dependent) while simultaneously completing their undergraduate degree. Grad Path is ideal for those who are looking ahead toward a graduate degree.

Grad Path tuition is assessed at undergraduate tuition rates. By taking SUU graduate courses, the credits earned may apply toward the identified graduate program(s) only. Credits will not count toward an undergraduate degree . The respective graduate program advisor must preemptively approve all such enrollment. Each course may only be attempted once.

Expectations

Because your success is of paramount importance to us, we want to be sure that you understand the expectations for graduate school as you begin this journey. Graduate classes are more rigorous than what you may have experienced as an undergrad; there will be much more reading, writing, and yes, even research. Please see SUU's online catalog for the passing grade requirement for your program.

We view our graduate students as participants in producing knowledge, not merely consumers of information. Graduate students are expected to engage fully in class discussions, attend classes, and/or actively contribute to online forums. We also expect our graduate students to be resourceful, self-motivated, and deadline-oriented.

Financial Aid

If you are an undergraduate student and taking graduate courses. The graduate courses cannot, by Federal Financial Aid Regulations, count towards your undergraduate Federal Financial Aid Eligibility. This means your Federal Financial Aid may be reduced.
