Accelerated Programs

Earn a bachelor’s and an advanced degree; graduate sooner and start your career.

The College of Science and Technology offers several opportunities for students to complete their undergraduate and professional degrees with accelerated programs. These programs enable qualified students learn the necessary skills, earn two degrees and enter the workforce sooner. 

For +1 undergraduate/graduate programs, eligible undergraduate students use up to 12 specified graduate credits approved by the school/college to fulfill requirements for their undergraduate degree. Upon graduation from their undergraduate program, students move seamlessly into their graduate program, which they complete, in most cases, in one additional year. Students should meet with their advisor as soon as possible to discuss requirements for eligibility and the application process.
