SHARED MASTER’S CREDITS
A student may work toward the completion of the requirements for two PSU master’s degrees in complementary disciplines or toward
a master’s degree at PSU and a partner university when there is a formal agreement between the two institutions. The credits to be
shared between both master’s degrees cannot exceed one-third of the required credits for a degree. If the two degrees have different
total credit requirements, the one-third limit is determined by the smaller total credit requirement. Only coursework can be shared
between two master’s degrees; internship, practicum, project, thesis, or other culminating activity cannot be shared. Students are
limited to one use of the shared master’s credit allowance.
When concurrently enrolled, credits applied toward two master’s degrees must be approved by both departments before the student
graduates from the first degree. If the student has already graduated from the first program, the department #1 signature below is not
needed.
