Bachelor’s/Master’s Pathways allow academically qualified students to complete an undergraduate Bachelor’s degree and a graduate degree (typically master’s degree) on an accelerated timeline, graduating sooner than in traditional programs. Typically, students will complete a portion of the required graduate coursework while classified as an undergraduate student and have it count towards both degrees. As soon as the student completes the undergraduate degree requirements, the student is converted to graduate status, where the remaining graduate requirements are fulfilled. For more information review the Bachelor’s/Master’s Pathways Policy in the Academic Policies section.
General requirements:
-
15 Credit Hours must be completed in the undergraduate major before a student may apply

-
Degrees are conferred sequentially (bachelor’s should be conferred as soon as requirements are met)
-
Students pay graduate tuition when taking graduate courses.
The shared requirements for each Combined Bachelor/Master’s Pathway are listed below alphabetically by graduate major.
