Combined BA/MA Program

Qualified Kent State undergraduate students can apply for early admission into the Master of Arts in Sociology program. Students in the combined BA/MA program take up to nine credits of graduate-level coursework as undergraduate students, thus enabling courses to be applied toward both degree programs. Upon completion of undergraduate requirements, students are awarded a Bachelor of Arts degree and continue in the graduate program.

Minimum Admission Requirements:

• Must have earned a minimum of 60 credit hours (junior standing)
• Must have a minimum 3.0 GPA
• Must complete the standard online graduate application, submit required admissions materials, and pay application fee
• Must be admitted to the graduate program
