Admission to Dual/Accelerated Bachelor’s to Master’s Degree Programs

The dual/accelerated bachelor’s to master’s degree programs offer outstanding students opportunities to advance their careers in significant ways by pursuing the bachelor’s and master’s degrees in a parallel and coordinated program. In addition, it may be possible for students to complete the requirements for both degrees (in the same field) in an accelerated time frame.

Dual/accelerated degree programs are available in:

  • BA to MA in communication

Each dual/accelerated program has specific admission requirements. Students should consult with the department’s graduate coordinator if they are interested in this type of program.
