Curriculum

Students accepted to this combined program will include the following 4 courses (12 credits) in their approved undergraduate degree plans. Special requests to substitute these courses will be considered by the program coordinator in consultation with the student's SUNY Cobleskill advisor.

These programs require careful planning that should begin in the first term of a student’s undergraduate career. The student and their undergraduate advisor should consult in planning the undergraduate degree program so that these requirements are met during undergraduate study and that the 12 credits of master’s courses from the M.S. in Information Technology program also 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 a combined program.
