• Each course taken for joint credit must be so identified at the time of enrollment in that course and a dual enrollment form must be completed which indicates the courses taken for graduate credit. Allowed joint degree hours include: PHS 621, PHS 622 and PHS 848. All 9 credit hours may be taken as electives under the Bachelor of Science in health management and are core to the Master of Health Administration.

• A student who has previously been admitted to a graduate degree program at Wichita State may not be admitted to the dual/accelerated program.
• For the purpose of requesting exceptions to the program and university regulations, students in a dual/accelerated degree program are considered undergraduates and thus proceed through the undergraduate process until the bachelor’s degree is awarded.
