1130 Postbaccalaureate Applicants - Associate’s Level


Return to: 1100 Undergraduate Admissions  


Those applicants who have received a bachelor’s degree and who wish to take undergraduate courses without being admitted to a second undergraduate degree program are postbaccalaureate applicants. An applicant wishing to seek a second undergraduate degree should refer to Transfer Applicants . Georgia State University graduates should refer to Re-entry Applicants (Former Students) .

Admission Requirements

Postbaccalaureate applicants must hold a baccalaureate degree or the equivalent from an institution of postsecondary education with full accreditation by a regional association of colleges and schools and, where appropriate, the Commission on Colleges.

The postbaccalaureate status is not available for applicants seeking teacher certification in any area other than music education and art education (see 1605 Entry into Teacher Education ).

In order to be considered for admission as a postbaccalaureate student, an applicant must complete an application for undergraduate admission (including the nonrefundable fee) and submit an official transcript from the degree-granting institution by the appropriate deadline. If a student wishes to change to a degreeseeking status after enrolling at Georgia State University as a postbaccalaureate student, conditions for acceptance as a transfer student must be met. An application for admission, the nonrefundable application fee and required transcripts must be filed with the Office of Undergraduate Admissions located in 200 Sparks Hall by the established application deadline for the intended semester of entry.

All scholastic discipline policies and all course prerequisite policies are applicable to Postbaccalaureate students. Postbaccalaureates may not attend another institution as transient students from Georgia State. Transient status is only for degree-seeking students. Postbaccalaureate students wishing to attend another institution must apply directly to the other school.
