    Graduate Coursework and Tuition

    Four graduate courses are to be completed by the end of your senior year and will count towards both your undergraduate and graduate degree program requirements:

    • EDUC 5255: Technology in Classrooms: TPCK (3 credits)
    • MGSE 5405: Teaching Science in the Middle Grades (3 credits)

    Only students who have been accepted for the +1 Accelerated Program will be able to register for these classes. The graduate courses will be coded as undergraduate courses on your undergraduate transcript and undergraduate tuition will be applied. After you matriculate into the +1 Accelerated Program, the graduate level indicator will be added to these courses so that they may also count towards your master's degree.
