Enrollment in a combined pathway allows highly qualified, current SUNY Buffalo State students to work on the Master of Arts in English while completing the bachelor’s degree in English. Up to 12 credits of designated master’s courses are incorporated into the bachelor’s degree program and will count toward both the bachelor’s degree and the master’s degree. The program requires careful planning that should begin in the second year of the student’s undergraduate career at SUNY Buffalo State. The student and the primary adviser (or department chair) should consult in planning the undergraduate degree program so that all requirements are met during undergraduate study and up to 12 credits of master’s courses from the MA Program in English are included in the degree plan. Students must meet graduate expectations for academic progress and grade point average in their master’s level courses to remain in the combined pathway.
