Course Overview
Students in the Coterminal Master's Program in Communication may transfer certain courses between their undergraduate and graduate careers. Courses that were taken since, and including, Autumn quarter of sophomore year are eligible for transfer. Both undergraduate and graduate departments must approve any such transfer of courses. These courses may only count toward one career or the other. The minimum number of units for a master's degree in Communication-Media Studies Track is 45 unduplicated units beyond the 180 units required for the bachelor's degree. The maximum number of units per quarter taken at graduate level is 18, with any additional units taken within the same quarter charged at a per unit rate. It is important to evaluate carefully the total units you need to reach the minimum of 45 graduate units. Plan to take 15-18 units of Media Studies courses in the M.A. program each quarter.
