Under the Graduate Course Option, undergraduate students with a final grade point average of 3.5 or higher may count six 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 thirty-six hours if they chose to further their study in International Affairs; likewise, qualifed GEML students could complete the M.S. in Economics with thirty additional hours in ECON courses.
