  • Students must obtain the bachelor's degree by the end of the eighth semester and gain formal graduate-student status through master's admission screening, entrance examination, or an international-student admission channel.
  • Master's credit transfer is generally processed once before the add/drop deadline of the first semester. Eligible students may transfer all qualifying credits, but must study in the master's program for at least one year.
