Students can take two classes (six credit hours) at the undergraduate level that will count toward completion of both the undergraduate degree and the M.S. degree, pending acceptance into the program. In addition, students may request permission to take up to two of the graduate-level Applied Analytics courses as a part of their undergraduate education (this applies to students in any online program at SPS as well). If accepted to the M.S. Applied Analytics program, these two courses would be applied toward the degree completion requirements. Students are required to have a 3.0 GPA in their major and minor coursework taken at SPS in order to be granted permission to take these graduate level courses.
Once completed, up to 12 credit hours in the bridge program can be applied to the 36-credit-hour professional master's degree in Applied Analytics, leaving only 24 credit hours to completion, thereby saving students time and money.

Accreditation
Accreditation is extremely vital to a school because it assures the students that the school's curricula and student body performance either meet or exceed particular standards. Earning accreditation implies the institution has at least met the thorough requirements and teaches pertinent curricula based on verified data. It's also important to note that being regionally accredited is the most recognized type of accreditation in the United States.
Saint Louis University's accredited adult degree programs in St. Louis, Missouri are reviewed and evaluated by the Higher Learning Committee of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. The HLC has been the continual accrediting body of Saint Louis University since 1916. Sharing a long history, part of the HLC's meticulous process to approve continued accreditation is that SLU must undergo and submit a comprehensive Self-Study every 10 years. SLU has been continuously accredited since 1916most recently in 2012.
The HLC's rigorous assessment and accreditation review acts as a major benefactor to Saint Louis University's reputation and curricula as a whole because it requires SLU to undertake and address any necessary improvements needed in its professional commitment to a mission of providing exceptional education to its students.
