Yes, I should have chosen the word "completion" rather than "admission".

The comment I was replying to was saying, in effect, "I want to be able to earn a graduate degree without having to earn an undergraduate degree".

Those programs sound great. They would allow a person to EARN both the graduate degree and the underlying undergrad.

That comment specifically complained about entrance requirements, so, no, I don't think that is a fair characterization.

True, but the end goal is certainly not simply Entering the program, but completing the program and obtaining a graduate degree.

I highly doubt that the motivation behind that comment is a desire to audit a masters program.
