Accelerated Programs

Our accelerated programs allow you to complete a bachelor’s and graduate degree in less time than it takes to get them separately. They’re a perfect fit if you’re interested in a profession that requires advanced study, or if you want to quickly maximize your career options and earning potential.

We offer two types of accelerated programs:

  • Bachelor’s/master’s degree programs allow you to transfer seamlessly to graduate study and complete both degrees in just five years, saving you time and money.
  • Bachelor’s/J.D. (law) degree programs provide a fast-track to a legal career, preparing you to practice law in six years — an entire year faster than usual.

In most accelerated programs, you apply for graduate admission your junior year and begin taking graduate-level courses as a senior. For more information, contact your advisor.
