How can I meet the 150 hour requirement if I choose to do so? • No masters degree is required so you can meet the 150 (225 qtr units) with a dual concentration, extra units from a Community College, or in any other manner you desire • Alternatively you could choose to pursue a masters degree at another university after you graduate from Cal Poly.
