Get started on a graduate degree while still an undergraduate!
The new Accelerated Master’s Platform (AMP) allows students to apply to the graduate program in their junior year and, if accepted, matriculate into the master’s program during the following fall term. With careful planning, including taking graduate classes in their senior year, students can then complete a master’s degree within one year after finishing their bachelor’s. Students admitted to the co-degree program must maintain a GPA of 3.0 or better throughout their undergraduate and master’s degree programs, or they will be subject to dismissal from the AMP.
Successful applicants are allowed to apply a maximum of 12 graduate credits (taken for a letter grade and not including blanket-numbered courses) to both their undergraduate and master’s degrees.
