Form 2 - Application for Admission to Candidacy/Instructions
The purpose of the application for candidacy is to insure the student is a qualified candidate for a Master’s degree program and to set forth those courses to be included in the program of study.
- Requirements for Admission to Candidacy: All candidates are required to have satisfied any conditions attached to their admission and have achieved a minimum cumulative grade point average of at least a 3.00 (B) for course work attempted. In addition, a candidate may be required to pass a departmental/program qualifying examination.
- Application for Admission to Candidacy: The student must submit an Application for Candidacy upon the completion of thirteen-sixteen (13-16) graduate level semester credits. It is the student’s responsibility to initiate contact with the advisor for the purpose of applying for candidacy, designing a plan of study, and (where appropriate) forming an advisory committee.
- Residency Requirements: The Master’s degree requires that a minimum of at least twenty (20) semester hours must be completed “in residence” at Bemidji State University. The purpose of residency is to establish a minimum period of time at the degree granting institution to allow for the proper evaluation of degree criteria.
- Transfer Credit: All graduate credits earned at a regionally accredited college or university should be transferred prior to admission to candidacy. A letter grade should normally accompany each course to be transferred. The Master’s Degree Program guidelines state that a maximum of ten (10) semester credits (or the equivalent) may be considered in transfer. All course work must have been completed within seven years of the anticipated date of graduation.
- Institutes and Workshops: A maximum of five (5) semester credits of workshop/institute courses numbered 5950 (or equivalent when transferred) may be included in a program of study
