Changing Degree or adding a second degree
A student may change from one Master’s Degree program to another Master’s Degree program or apply to a second Master’s Degree by completing the Change/Adding of Degree Program Form and obtaining the written recommendation of the following:
· A faculty member specific to the student’s desired program
· Registrar
The student must be in good academic standing in their current degree program(s) with a cumulative GPA of at least 2.7. No students will be allowed to change degree programs or add another degree program before they have successfully completed all core first year courses. These are:
· BTI 501 Hermeneutics
· CSL 517 Marriage & Family
· CSL 527 Faith, Hope & Love
· CSL 528 Interpersonal Foundations
· CSL 551 First Year Practicum Part I
· CSL 552 First Year Practicum Part II
When adding a second degree program, only half of the credits from the shorter degree (the one with less total credits required for graduation) may be used to fulfill credits for the second degree program, regardless of which program the student was originally enrolled in. In order to complete the M.Div and MACP degrees, the student would need 123 credits for graduation and 90 credits for the MACP plus the MACS degree. If you are interested in completing more than one degree program at MHGS, please see the academic office for the list of required classes and electives for combining degree programs.
