Unclassified Applicants for degree-seeking status who meet the minimum GPA requirements for conditional admission but can not provide a satisfactory official qualifying exam score may be granted unclassified admission. Unclassified students may enroll for one semester only and for a maximum of six semester hours. If the student can not satisfy the conditional admission requirements, future enrollment must be in the non-degree category. The student must sign a form acknowledging this change in admission status. Second Master's Degree Applicants for admission to graduate study who have received an advanced degree from a regionally accredited college or university are subject to individual review by the appropriate Graduate Program Coordinator, the Dean of the academic unit to which they seek admission, and the Dean of Graduate Studies.
Admission can be either unconditional or conditional.
Applicants who already have a UT Martin master's degree will automatically be accepted if applying for a degree offered by the same school as the earlier degree. A student may obtain a second master's degree in any of the programs offered. Courses applied toward the first degree, however, may not be applied toward the second degree. Students will take graduate electives approved by the advisor instead of repeating the required courses. The total hours for the second degree will not be reduced and a second comprehensive exam must be taken.
