Marine Studies Consortium
Stonehill College is a member of the Marine Studies Consortium, which was organized in 1977 by representatives of twenty-five Massachusetts universities and colleges. Its primary purpose is to promote marine education. Each year the consortium offers several marine-related courses in Boston that attract undergraduate students from schools throughout the area. Credit for courses taken is granted by the student’s home institution, and the grade received becomes part of the student’s permanent record at the school. Students interested in enrolling in any of these courses must apply through Professor Kristin Burkholder, Environmental Science & Studies.
SACHEM Exchange Program
Stonehill College students may cross-register for courses at any of the SACHEM (Southeastern Association for Cooperation of Higher Education in Massachusetts) institutions on a space-available basis as part of their normal full-time load during the fall or spring semester. Winter and summer sessions are excluded from the SACHEM exchange program. Tuition is covered within the students’ full-time tuition charge at Stonehill; students are responsible for lab fees when applicable. Students must request an official transcript from the SACHEM school be sent to the Registrar’s Office.
Students may enroll in a maximum of two courses per semester at one of the below institutions. First-year students are not recommended to participate in the SACHEM program. SACHEM courses may count as major requirements with approval of the relevant Department Chair.
Colleges involved in the SACHEM program are the following:
*Students may not cross-register at Massachusetts Maritime Academy
**UMass Dartmouth only offers registration for in-person courses
SACHEM Registration Forms may be obtained from the Registrar’s Office and final approval is granted by the Registrar’s Office, Office of Academic Services & Advising, and the particular college involved. In accordance with Stonehill College policy, the transfer of credit to Stonehill is given only for courses with a grade of “C-” or higher and only the credits received are added to the permanent record. The grade received is recorded on the permanent record at the college where the course is taken. Students are responsible for adherence to the academic regulations of the institution involved.
Engineering Dual-Degree Programs (B.A./B.S.)
Stonehill College has an affiliation agreements with The University of Notre Dame to offer a five-year dual degree program in science and engineering. Students enrolled in the program matriculate for three years at Stonehill College and then transfer to The University of Notre Dame for two years. Those who complete the program receive two degrees: a bachelor’s degree in one of the sciences from Stonehill College and a second bachelor’s degree in an engineering discipline from The University of Notre Dame. Students in this program will also complete the Core Curriculum requirements of Stonehill College. The dual degree ensures that students will graduate with both a strong liberal arts background and the requisite knowledge for a career in an engineering field.
For more information, contact Prof. Hassan Bajwa, Engineering Program Director and Chair of the Computer Science Department at hbajwa@stonehill.edu.
The University of Notre Dame
To transfer to Notre Dame a student must meet each of the following minimum qualification criteria:
- A cumulative grade-point average (GPA) of 3.6;
- A cumulative technical GPA of 3.6 (will be calculated from math, physics, science, and engineering courses appearing on the student’s transcript);
- A grade of at least C in all courses; a B or better must be earned in courses that transfer to satisfy Notre Dame degree requirements (per Notre Dame Undergraduate Academic Code). For all courses where a student does not earn the minimum grade (C or B), at Stonehill’s discretion, the student may retake that course in an attempt to:
- Earn a C and remain eligible for the program; or
- Earn a B and allow the course to transfer to the Notre Dame transcript.
In this case, consistent with Notre Dame’s Undergraduate Academic Code, both grades will be used to calculate the student’s GPA (overall and technical required in paragraphs 1 and 2)
- At least 62 semester credit hours of work that can be transferred to satisfy Notre Dame engineering degree requirements;
- Recommendation for admission by their academic advisor or the Program Director at Stonehill College; and
- Demonstrated commitment to the community values and standards of conduct of both Notre Dame and Stonehill as determined in Notre Dame’s sole discretion, following its assessment of the information provided by Stonehill in the “College Official’s Report.”
Students may choose one of the following degree combinations:
