Accelerated Master's Programs: Co-Terminal Degrees (AMP-CT)
Plus One
Undergraduate Phase
Students may apply to the Plus One format of the Accelerated Master’s Program while they have undergraduate status. To be admitted to the program, students must meet the following eligibility requirements:
- Must be in good academic standing with the university
- Must not have applied for conferral (i.e. graduation) at the time of application
- Must have completed at least 60 credits and have no fewer than 12 undergraduate credits remaining at the start of the program
- The bachelor’s degree/master’s degree pairing must be approved prior to starting the course of study
- Minimum 3.0 GPA required; students with a GPA below the minimum may still be eligible with a letter of recommendation from their undergraduate academic adviser. Individual master’s programs may establish higher minimum GPA requirements.
Students complete all undergraduate degree requirements within the standard timeframe for their undergraduate program (typically four years, or five years for programs with extended curricula).
During this period, students may enroll in approved coursework applicable to the master’s degree requirements.
Programs may allow up to fifteen approved credit hours applicable to the master’s degree requirements to be applied toward both undergraduate and graduate degree requirements, subject to program requirements. At least six of these credits must be at the 500 level or above.
Graduate-level courses taken during this phase will be assessed at undergraduate tuition rates and subject to undergraduate financial aid structures.
Transition to Graduate Status
Upon completion of undergraduate degree requirements, students will apply for graduation and have their undergraduate degree awarded.
At this point, students will transition to graduate student status. Students will be subject to graduate financial aid policies.
Following transition to graduate student status, additional coursework will apply solely toward the master’s degree and will not be eligible for undergraduate credit.
