4+1 Accelerated Master's Programs
Simplify your path to graduate school.
About
Our 4+1 accelerated master's programs are a convenient, cost-effective way to earn a bachelor's and a master's degree in five years. By combining two degrees into a single program, the cost for each program is reduced, allowing students to save both time and money while gaining a competitive edge in their post-graduation career.
The College of Social and Behavioral Sciences offers five 4+1 accelerated master's programs, simplifying the path to graduate education for our students. Undergraduates begin their graduate coursework as seniors, reducing the amount of time required to earn a master's degree. No GRE or application fee is required, creating a seamless transition to graduate school.
Undergraduates who are interested in applying to a 4+1 program should meet with their academic advisor to ensure that all requirements are met for acceptance into their preferred program.
