Graduate Study Opportunities for PSU Undergraduate Seniors

Plymouth State University Undergraduate seniors with a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or better may take up to six graduate credits with prior permission. Proper selection of the graduate courses may allow for double counting the graduate credits as undergraduate credits.
