Why Choose an Accelerated Program?

Finish Faster:
Jump-start your graduate education while completing your bachelor’s degree. By double-counting 9 credits, you’ll seamlessly transition into your master’s program and complete it in a shorter timeframe—helping you launch your career sooner.

Save More:
Make your education more affordable by taking up to 18 graduate-level credits as an undergraduate. This reduces the total cost of your master’s degree and maximizes the value of every course you take.

Stand Out in the Job Market:
A master’s degree signals advanced knowledge, specialized skills, and dedication—qualities employers actively seek. With more expertise under your belt, you’ll be positioned for higher‑paying roles, leadership opportunities, and accelerated career success.
