Accelerated Master's Degree Option
Why choose an accelerated option?
It shortens the time to earn your master’s degree. Earn graduate credit as you complete your bachelor’s degree.
How it works
Apply for the accelerated option during your junior or senior year.
If you meet admission requirements, up to 12 credit hours will count toward your bachelor’s and master’s degrees.
Contact the MPH program director to discuss admission requirements for the accelerated master’s option.
Scheduling requirements
Before you enroll in a course for both undergraduate and graduate credit, you must receive approval from:
- The Master of Public Health program director.
- The department head of your undergraduate program (major).
- The dean of the Graduate College.
You can do this by using a mixed credit form. Work with your advisor to complete the form.
You must receive all approvals before the end of the Change of Schedule period for the course(s).
