About the 4+1 Programs
Ursinus students can apply for direct admission to St. Joseph’s University’s College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Health Professions for a Masters degree in the above areas.
Majors in Biology, Chemistry, BCMB and Health Sciences are particularly good fits, but students in other majors may be interested.
What’s in it for me?
A Master of Science degree.
Get a jumpstart on your graduate degree: Ursinus/SJU 4+1 students can take two SJU graduate classes, at no additional cost, as part of their Ursinus undergraduate degree and have those credits apply to both programs.
10 percent tuition discount for all Ursinus graduates who are accepted into St. Joe’s graduate programs.
Meet with your advisor at Ursinus for approval. It is worth meeting with your advisor as soon as you’ve identified interest, so your pathway can be crafted accordingly.
Application can be submitted after the end of student’s fourth semester (or completion of at least 60 undergraduate credits) but no later than the end of the student’s sixth semester (or completion of no more than 96 undergraduate credits) at Ursinus College. Students are encouraged to apply by April 15.
