Students who are accepted into the one of the BA/MA programs may take graduate courses while they are still completing their undergraduate course load. The requirements for the BA/MA degrees are the same as for the BA and MA degrees taken separately. The BA/MA degree has certain advantages for students who want to move through the program quickly. However, it should be noted that BA/MA students do not receive their undergraduate degree until they complete the BA/MA program, so the BA/MA program is not advised for students who cannot attend full time or who tend to take incompletes.

Admission to the BA/MA programs is open only to students who are currently undergraduate students at Hunter College!
