Total Credits 150
Notes:
This is a plan to finish both a BA and a MA in five years. It assumes that students start their studies in the Fall semester. During the BA period, students must incorporate all focus requirements into this plan. Minimum 45 upper division (300+ course) credits are required.
Students apply to the BAM program in the form of early admission. This pathway anticipates that a student would apply to the Master’s program during the seond semester of their junior year, and in the first semester of their senior year would be admitted to the master’s program and begin taking double-counted 600-level courses. To be eligible to apply for the program, students must pass one gateway class with a grade of B or better, and maintain an overall GPA of 3.0. If a student fails to maintain a GPA of 3.0 or better after admission, they will be removed from the MA degree-granting portion of the program and allowed to graduate with a BA degree upon completion of the BA requirements.
* Students may progress more quickly through their foreign language sequence by taking a placement exam and/or summer courses. Admitted BAM students must demonstrate 302 proficiency in Filipino or Ilokano.
** Students may fufill an IP 300+ requirement during the second year provided they meet the prerequisites or have instructor consent.
*** ASAN 695 is a 1-credit course required for Plan B students in their last semester. ASAN 695+ means stuents take 1-cr ASAN 695 and a 2-cr elective.
ASAN 310 and ASAN 312 are the two choices for the proposed gateway course. Students must pass at least one with a grade of “B” or better to gain admission to the pathway.
Courses that are able to be double-counted for the BA and MA: One of the following: ILO 401 , ILO 402 , ILO 451 , ILO 486 , FIL 401 , FIL 402 , FIL 435 , FIL 451 , IP 411 , IP 431 ; ASAN 600S , and either ASAN 601 or ASAN 600Z . These courses must be completed in year 4, after admission to the BAM program. To double-count these courses, students must pass with a grade of “B” or better.
Students willl receive undergraduate advising from the Department of IPLL; once they are accepted into the BAM pathway, they will receive graduate advising from the Asian Studies Graduate Advisior.
