Degree Programs in Combination with ProfessionalSchoolsStudents who can obtain admission to a professional school at the end of their junior year may petition the Academic Standing Committee to permit them to transfer up to eight course credits from the professional school to complete their Cornell degree. Cornell allows a combined degrees program in architecture, dentistry, engineering, environmental studies, forestry, hospital and health administration, law, medicine, occupational or physical therapy, social service administration, social work, and veterinary medicine. For specific information and forms consult the program advisor or the Registrar. Before beginning the professional program, the student must complete 24 course credits (of which at least 16 must be term credits earned at Cornell) with a cumulative Cornell grade point average of 3.0 or higher. Candidates for the B.A. degree must also complete all the B.A. general education requirements. With departmental approval, the major may be completed in the professional school. Cornell permits students to receive their Cornell degree at the end of their first year in professional school if they (1) notify the Cornell Registrar by March 1 of their desire to be graduated at the end of that academic year and (2) provide the Cornell Registrar by the Thursday before Commencement with proof that they have successfully completed the requisite number of transferable credits, satisfied the requirements for their Cornell major, and are eligible to return to the professional school for the following year. Only courses graded C or higher are transferable. Admission to the professional school is not guaranteed by Cornell but is subject in all cases to the university's acceptance of the student. Students normally apply on their own to the professional school of their choice (subject to the approval of the program by Cornell's Academic Standing Committee) or they may select one of the programs with which Cornell is formally affiliated.
