04.05 Set-Aside Credit towards Graduate Study

Students nearing completion of their undergraduate coursework may decide to take courses at Eastman above and beyond their Bachelor of Music degree requirements, with the intent of applying these additional credits towards their stated master’s degree requirements. Students may request that up to six credits of such coursework (200-400 level) be set aside for elective credit in their master of music degree, thus reducing the total number of credits required at the master’s level. Approved set-aside courses remain in the undergraduate degree program on the student’s record and factor into the undergraduate grade point average. The same course cannot fulfill a requirement in both degree programs. This policy is only applicable to courses taken at the Eastman School. To apply for set-aside credit, submit a Set-Aside Credit Application Form to the Eastman Registrar’s Office.
