Effective Date: December 4, 2023
Last Reviewed: December 4, 2023
______________________________________________________________________________
Any accepted undergraduate student is eligible to apply to the Skyhawk Accelerated Dual Degree (Skyhawk ADD) program. Acceptance into the Skyhawk ADD program allows students to begin a graduate degree within the Stonehill College Division of Graduate and Professional Studies while completing their undergraduate degree. Current Stonehill undergraduate students who wish to apply to the Skyhawk ADD Program must obtain sponsorship from two (2) faculty members, have a minimum GPA of 3.0, and meet any other program-specific requirements, which can be found here.
Admitted Skyhawk ADD students must complete 60 undergraduate credits before they may enroll in courses for dual credit. Skyhawk ADD students may, with approval of the pertinent graduate director, then enroll in a maximum of two 3-credit courses at either the 500- or 600-level that may count toward both their undergraduate and graduate degrees simultaneously (dual credit)
Skyhawk ADD students must meet the Graduate Student Standard of Work of B- or better to earn graduate credit pursuant to Policy A27.1. If a student does not meet the Graduate Student Standard of Work in a course attempted with the purpose of seeking dual credit, the student will earn only undergraduate credit. Skyhawk ADD students may enroll in additional graduate courses beyond six (6) credits while still completing their undergraduate degree, but any such additional courses will not count toward the undergraduate degree requirement. Students enrolling in any additional graduate courses beyond the six (6) credits allowed for dual credit must pay all relevant graduate tuition and fees related to that enrollment.
A bachelor’s degree is awarded after successful completion of all undergraduate requirements. A master’s degree is awarded after successful completion of all graduate program requirements.
