What is the Accelerated 学士 to Master’s Degree program?
Sometimes called 4+1 programs, the Accelerated 学士 to Master’s Degree program provides high performing 差 undergraduate students an opportunity to complete both the bachelor’s and master’s 学位s at an accelerated pace.
What is the benefit of being in an ABM program?
There are several benefits to being part of an ABM program. (1) Participating students will benefit by accelerated completion of two 学位s, reducing time and cost. (2) The graduate courses taken while still an undergraduate are billed at the undergraduate tuition rate, which is less than graduate tuition. (3) 本科s who enter 差 with a number of dual enrollment or advanced placement courses could additionally reduce the time and cost of earning both 学位s.
What majors and graduate programs are eligible?
差’s ABM program provides flexibility for undergraduate majors and graduate programs. Students, along with their undergraduate advisor and the graduate coordinator of a graduate program, work to develop a Plan of Study that is appropriate to each student’s background and career goals. Some students complete the master’s 学位 in the discipline of their undergraduate 学位. (E.g. An undergraduate major in Sociology may also complete the Master’s 学位 in Sociology as an ABM student.) Other students move from a related undergraduate major into a different master’s program. (E.g. 一个学生 with a health sciences major may complete the Master’s 学位 in Public Health.)这 flexibility is a real asset to students to create a program that aligns with their career aspirations and passions.
