Major Academic Plans for Combined Bachelor’s and Master’s Pathways

At Cal Poly Humboldt, your path to graduation is shaped by your goals and interests. Major Academic Plans (MAPs) suggest courses each semester to help you meet degree requirements in four years. They’re flexible, especially for General Education & All-University Requirements , so use them as a guide-not a rule. First-year students join Place-Based Learning Communities (PBLCs), taking connected courses with supportive peers. Some majors fulfill GE requirements through Approved General Education Modifications by Major . Use DARS planning tools and MAPs to build your plan, and meet with your advisor each semester to customize your schedule and stay on track. Visit the PBLC website for more information.

For students interested in pursuing a Combined Bachelor’s and Master’s Pathway (CBMP), it is imperative that you involve your Major and Graduate Advisors as early as possible to ensure a smooth transition between undergraduate and graduate status. Students need to complete all of their lower GE and American Institutions prior to admission to the blended pathway, or in the first semester after admission. Students may double-count up to 12 units of undergraduate and graduate major coursework requirements in their fourth year of study (senior year).

Combined Bachelor’s and Master’s Pathway Application

Students must apply to the department for admission to the CBMP (blended pathway). The application is usually due the Spring semester of the Junior Year. Contact the department directly for application processes. Interested students who fulfill admission requirements should apply to the blended pathway prior to their senior year (with a minimum of 60 units and a maximum of 90 undergraduate degree applicable units).  Students must:

1. complete departmental application (contact department)
2. satisfy departmental admission requirements
3. complete all lower division general education, including American Institutions, prior to earning 120 units. To continue in the blended pathway, students must satisfy lower division GE and American Institutions as early as possible.
