Wesleyan 4 + 1 Program

The 4+1 Graduate Program is only open to Wesleyan students who: 

1. Have earned a cumulative grade-point average (GPA) of 3.00 or higher by the end of their junior year of study. 
2. Have been accepted to the graduate program by completing the application requirements for the program they are applying for:

Industrial Organizational-Psychology (M.A.)

• A completed application.
• An academic writing sample (a paper written for a course you completed).
• Completion of PSY101 General Psychology and MAT/PSY 220 Statistics prior to applying with at least a C grade. This program is open to any major.
• An admissions interview will be scheduled with the program director once all documents have been received.

MBA or Nonprofit Management (M.S.)

• A completed application.
• Current major in business administration with the completion of at least 6 of the 12 business core classes in the major, including at least one upper level course, all with a C grade or higher. 

1. Once a student has been admitted to the graduate program, they are eligible to enroll in two graduate courses.
2. Being accepted into the 4+1 Graduate Program does not alter the student's type. Until the bachelor’s degree is conferred, the student remains a bachelor’s degree-seeking student for purposes of federal and state financial aid as well as any aid awarded to them as part of their undergraduate admission. 
3. Upon graduating with a Bachelor’s degree, the student is immediately eligible to take the remaining graduate classes to complete the master’s degree.  
4. To obtain a master’s degree from Wesleyan, a student must have completed the required credit hours at the graduate level required by the program. All graduate coursework counting toward the master’s degree must meet the regular, published master’s degree requirements from Wesleyan.
5. While an undergraduate in the 4+1 Program, Wesleyan will collect and retain undergraduate tuition at Wesleyan’s rates. Financial aid, including scholarships, will be calculated in accordance with Wesleyan College’s then-current policies.
