Grad work @ MIT

<p>If you finish you undergrad work at Wellesley in 3 years, can you cross-register in all grad courses at MIT and earn a masters during your fourth year?</p>

<p>I know they have a five year business program like that but four years I dunno</p>

<p>hmmm... I thought Wellesley only had their Double-Degree Program which precludes a graduate level degree
irrespective of the coursework level....at MIT?</p>

<p>....I would also like to learn if it is possible do what the OP is
asking.... (reading between the lines it seems the answer is No)</p>

<p>I GUESS you cannot, just because Wellesley is not accredited to award Masters' degrees and you would have to be enrolled at MIT to be awarded a grad degree by MIT. And I would assume that Wellesley would advertise that option if it existed.</p>

<p>And besides

MIT courses are available to students after their first semester at Wellesley. Students may take up to two courses per semester, regardless of the number of units per course.

<p>Wellesley cannot award Masters' degrees because single-sex graduate programs are illegal, so Wellesley actually dropped theirs in favor of staying completely single sex (minus the male cross-registered students and auditors).</p>

<p>I don't really know of anyone who's done the double degree program.</p>

<p>If you finish all your Wellesley coursework in three years, you can get your diploma. It's not an unpopular option.</p>

<p>You are allowed to take graduate level courses at MIT as long as you have the prerequisites. There's nothing on your transcript from Wellesley to suggest that the course was a grad class (unless they looked up the course number to get a description).</p>

<p>Funny you ask this because my MIT course I'm taking now IS a grad course. But even on the MIT server it shows up as "subject included in undergraduate cumulative record" because I'm an undergrad. I guess it's not high school where you can cheat and earn college credit via AP Exams and early enrollment programs your high school has that con local colleges into giving you credit. I imagine you have to take your grad classes as a graduate student. The actual course is approved for H-level grad credit. Meanwhile I have plenty of homework, and the class is extremely relavent to research activities I'm doing at Wellesley. You just get to feel cool.</p>
