Accelerated Degrees
We offer several accelerated degree programs arranged between undergraduate and graduate departments. These programs enable academically qualified students to earn a bachelor's and an advanced degree—graduating sooner than they would have completing two distinct programs. Eligible undergraduate students use up to 12 specified graduate credits approved by the College of Liberal Arts to fulfill requirements for their undergraduate degree. Students typically take one graduate course per semester and may only take two graduate courses in one semester once while completing their undergraduate program.
Upon graduation from their undergraduate program, students move into their graduate program, which they complete in one additional year. Interested students should meet with their advisor as soon as possible to discuss requirements for eligibility and the application process.
