Graduate Study by Seniors
Courses taken for graduate credit cannot be applied in an undergraduate degree.
Seniors at Kansas State University who have a minimum GPA of 3.0 on prior undergraduate work and are within two semesters of receiving a bachelor's degree may take up to 9 hours for graduate credit in courses numbered in the 500, 600 and 700 sequences. Qualified students do not need permission from the Graduate School, and can request graduate credit when enrolling.
Enrollment in courses in the 800-level and above requires permission from the instructor, the head of the department offering the course, and the Graduate Dean.
Students who want to continue with graduate work after completing the B.S. degree have to be admitted to Graduate School.
For additional information, see Graduate School in the K-State Undergraduate Catalog and Graduate Study by Seniors in the K-State Graduate Handbook.
