The College of Engineering allows undergraduate students to enroll in graduate courses in compliance with the University’s policy. Students must meet the following requirements:
-
Senior standing (in terms of credits, not in terms of years at Villanova)
-
Minimum of 3.0 cumulative GPA
-
Appropriate approvals (advisor, course instructor, and department chair)
Mechanical, Electrical and Computer Engineering students may “double-count” up to three courses (nine credits) permitting some graduate courses completed as an undergraduate to be applied toward the completion of both the bachelor’s degree and the master’s degree.
Undergraduate students requesting permission to register for an Engineering graduate course should complete the appropriate form. The form can be found on the Current Engineering Undergraduate Students Intranet site.
In addition, students must complete the Confirm Graduate Course Credits for Degree form when they are in their senior year. This form can also be found on the Current Engineering Undergraduate Students Intranet site. The form is to be used by undergraduate students who have completed or are currently enrolled in graduate-level courses. It is used to determine which (if any) of the graduate-level courses taken as an undergraduate will be counted toward the undergraduate degree.
