Under the Graduate Course Option, undergraduate students with a final grade point average of 3.5 or higher may count 6 hours of their undergraduate credits toward a master's degree at Georgia Tech in the same field. This means that qualified IAML students could complete the Master of Science in International Affairs with thirty additional hours rather than 36 hours if they chose to further their study in International Affairs; likewise, qualifed GEML students could complete the MS in Economics with thirty additional hours in ECON courses.
