Accelerated Degree Programs (4+1)

What is a 4+1?
Our accelerated degree (4+1) programs enable students to apply for a graduate program as early as their junior year of undergraduate study.
If granted acceptance, students will take 6 to 8 credits of graduate-level courses during the final year of their undergraduate program. Because these credits can be dual-counted toward both the bachelor’s and master’s degree programs, students can complete both their undergraduate and graduate degrees in only one additional year—or five years total.
