UMass 4+1 Accelerated Master's Programs allow you to apply credits taken as an undergraduate toward your graduate degree. Those double-counted credits are billed at the undergraduate tuition rate, which means you get a head start on your graduate degree while saving money

Committing to graduate school is a big decision, but the benefits can be worth the effort. Our Master's programs have a 90% or higher placement rate in great jobs in the first six months after graduation. Graduates with a Master's degree are more likely to have higher starting salaries and are better positioned for career advancement. 

At this Open House, learn about 4+1 programs in: 

  • Political Science
  • Public Policy
  • Regional Planning
  • Resource Economics
  • Data Analytics & Computational Social Science (DACSS)

... and more! Representatives from each participating UMass 4+1 Accelerated Master's Program will be on hand to answer your questions and provide information on program requirements. 

Co-sponsored by the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences and the School of Public Health and Health Sciences.
