六九色堂

Qualifications for the five-year program for incoming freshmen:

• A minimum ACT composite score of 26, with a minimum of 22 in each section, and a minimum of 23 in the Mathematics section.  Or minimum SAT scores: 560 Mathematics, 560 ERW, and 1230 combined.
• With ACT/SAT scores above: a high school grade point average of 3.4 overall on a 4.0 point scale, and the same for the combined mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology courses.
• Without ACT/SAT scores: a high school grade point average of 3.6 overall on a 4.0 point scale, and the same for the combined mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology courses.
• Students must place into appropriate-level freshmen courses at Detroit Mercy in order to be able to complete both the bachelor and master degrees in five years.

Qualifications for the five-year program for current juniors/seniors:

• Students with a GPA of 3.25 and 95 credit hours may apply for the program near the end of their third year or in the beginning of their fourth year.  Advising discussions should begin in the freshman year.
• Students must be on-track to complete their undergraduate degree in four years.  Calculus and some ENGR courses should be taken early in the program.  (Some exceptions apply.)

If accepted into the program, students may take up to nine graduate credits in their fourth year that will count towards both undergraduate and graduate requirements.

In their fifth year, students will be registered as full-time graduate students, which requires that they are registered for at least nine credit hours of graduate-level courses per term. These courses will be charged at the graduate tuition rate.

To remain in the program, undergraduate students must maintain a minimum 3.25 GPA at Detroit Mercy and be progressing steadily toward graduation.

• Reduction in the total number of courses required to get both the bachelor and master degrees (students may count nine credits towards both undergraduate and graduate requirements)
• Ability to take up to nine graduate credits at the undergraduate tuition rate

The graduate courses which may be taken during the undergraduate program that can also be applied toward the undergraduate degree requirements must be approved by your academic advisor. Students must receive a grade of "C" or better in order to gain credit towards both the undergraduate and graduate degrees.

In order to qualify to take graduate credit in the fifth year, students must complete the mathematics and engineering courses listed below, by the end of the fourth year.

Biochemistry students wishing to take the Master of Environmental Engineering program who are not in the five-year program may seek admission into the MEnvE on condition of completing the Mathematics and Engineering courses below before taking graduate coursework.
