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